So it's the continuing case of sheeting home the entire blame for financial product failures - which the agribusiness schemes were - to the people at the coalface of the product-consumer transaction - financial advisers.

As Bob said, accountants who recommended these products seem to escape any retribution for their actions.

How about the Senate consider giving the power to ASIC to immediately suspend dodgy products from the market to prevent all and sundry from the impact of their eventually failures?

Of course, that would mean looking beyond the 'easy' option of blaming all the ills of the financial services industry on advisers - and it appears the Coalition's masters (read, FSC) and the Labor's masters (read, Industry Superfunds) won't be letting that happen anytime soon.

God forbid that they may have to acknowledge that their members have contributed in a major way to the ongoing debacles that will continue to dog this industry until they do.
