In this episode, Paige Estritori of Financial Services Online discusses the current financial market in Australia. Topics include investor reactions to U.S. trade policies, where most maintain current strategies despite concerns over tariffs. The upcoming federal election is prompting financial advisers to interact more with politicians to ensure their value in shaping reforms is understood. Discussion continues on Australia's top superannuation funds advocating for a Payday Super Advisory Council to consult on fund management, while high housing prices put homeownership out of reach for many young Australians. A proposal to use superannuation for home purchases meets opposition, with alternative solutions suggested including structural reforms and social housing investment.n
