Blake Briggs
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
FINANCIAL SERVICES COUNCIL
FINANCIAL SERVICES COUNCIL
Since becoming chief executive, Blake Briggs has renewed the Financial Services Council's influence, expanded the membership base, and strengthened its policy and advocacy credentials. Karren Vergara writes.







The combination of the 1 Jan 2017 Centrelink taper for the asset test, plus the $500,000 lifetime non-concessional super cap sends a clear message that the Govt wants to penalise retirement saving, or simply make it more difficult.
