Another malinformed and misguided initiative. Have any of these clowns actually worked out who these claims are against? Less than 1% will be IFAs and once again the institutions get away scot-free.
Irrespective of who is at fault for the financial harm that this scheme claims to redress, in what universe is it morally reasonable to determine liability for the harm caused (by others) based solely on occupation?
Will we also ask every politician to personally compensate the victims of bad policy put forward by the other party or that they didn't support or that happened before they were elected? Will we ask every single health worker to compensate people for things that didn't occur in their practice or hospital or whilst they were still in university and not working?
That is the offence being committed right now against the dedicated and committed financial planners of today. It's also why so many are leaving an industry they once loved. Future clients deserve better representation than to have advisers brave enough to be in business but unable to afford any but the most profitable of clients because of such levies.
Why doesn't the industry simply not pay - if we all came together and decided NOT TO PAY.
It is that simple, do you think they will cancel all FPs licenses... I do not think so.
If only we had a universal platform that all our Industry used / knew about were we could broadcast and communicate. Wouldn't that be great and send a very clear message to Canberra STOP TREATING this industry like an ATM with no PIN.
