January Exam Results

What a wonderful example of Coercion to enforce a totally irresponsible, utopian and theoretical compilation of Education mandates, that are already inherent in ALL advisers that are ethical.
The tiny percentage of UNETHICAL advisers, will do the exam and continue being unethical.
We have said for decades that the best way to sort out unethical advisers, is to remove them from the Industry.
Common sense did not prevail. What ensued though, was a multi- billion dollar spend of Tax payers and Shareholders money, to create a blanket, guilty until proven innocent, model that would have made many dictators proud.
Australia is becoming the benchmark on how NOT to proceed with Regulations, as it is only the Legal eagles and vested interest groups who benefit, at the expense of the rest of us.
