Phil Usher
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
FIRST NATIONS FOUNDATION
FIRST NATIONS FOUNDATION
Taking a gamble to steady the ship as chief executive of First Nations Foundation, Phil Usher has turned it into a more secure, self sustaining entity, far better equipped to empower First Nations people to achieve financial prosperity. Andrew McKean writes.
There may not be an over exposure to property in SMSFs. Sadly that can't be said for the rest of the Australia. Record levels of Household debt, low interest rates and ballooning property prices provide all the ingredients for a property disaster. However, we'll continue having the property spruikers and pundits telling us our case is different. My question is at what level will it become 'The same', as the USA, UK et al? We've already got the 2nd highest property prices in the world. Maybe getting to No. 1 might be the trigger point, when we realise the emperor is naked.
