  • Advice reform stalls as Jones dithers on SOA, safe harbour changes

    Even with a lightened agenda, the government failed to finish its homework and instead delivered only a portion of the first tranche of advice reforms. It’s a poor return, and at this rate the advice review could be a ten-year project.
