Hello

Last week we gave you the ability to comment on articles published on Good Returns. It's great to see this is being used and risk advisers have lots of opinion to offer.

Some of our most commented-on articles are Russell Hutchinson's Opinion piece and an article about the industry having to lift its standards.

This week we have another new feature. Dave McMillan, who was formerly the CEO at the PAA and is now development director at The National Partnership, is answering advisers' questions on business issues. You can find our more about it and ask your questions here.


Amongst the news we have a new discussion document on adviser disclosure, an update on Suncorp's activities and the Privacy Commission warning life companies.
