Do you think the Royal Commission will &#8216;clear the air&#8217; and ultimately become a turning point that will indeed improve consumer trust in institutions and the adviser community? Or do you think this is the last thing the advice sector needs at the moment, given it has figuratively been through ringer in recent years, thereby rendering the inclusion of financial services in this mandate as an &#8216;over-the-top&#8217; reaction by the Government?<\/p>\n<p>As always, we welcome your vote and your measured comments and will report back to you next week&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our latest poll seeks your opinion about the Government&#8217;s decision to conduct a Royal Commission into Australia&#8217;s banking and financial services sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":39299,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,49],"tags":[4247],"class_list":["post-39254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-compliance-regulation","category-polls","tag-feature"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39254"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39254\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
