The government has postponed for six months a requirement for financial advisers to register with ASIC. The new registration requirement is separate to the existing requirement for an AFS licensee to appoint a financial adviser that they authorise to ASIC’s Financial Adviser Register.
The law required that all financial advisers who provide personal advice to retail clients be registered by 1 January 2023, which has now been pushed back six months to 1 July 2023.
The change was part of the Better Advice Bill, in line with recommendation 2.10 of the Hayne Royal Commission.

Pro Publica – “In the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, more than 100 major companies pledged to suspend political giving to the members of Congress who voted to invalidate Joe Biden’s presidential victory.

How to download a backup copy of your Twitter data (or deactivate your account) - Ars Technica: “Big changes are underway at Twitter as we speak—including new leadership—and some people are nervousabout what the future might bring for the social network. Things may end up completely fine, but even in tranquil times, it’s good to know how to get a copy of your Twitter data for local safekeeping—or to deactivate your Twitter account if you choose.

Work is one part of our lives, but it occupies a big chunk, which warrants thinking about how we feel while we work. If your job makes you sad or stressed all the time, then maybe it’s worth thinking about a move. On the other hand, if your job makes you happy and helps you find meaning in the day-to-day, then you might be on the right track. Are people happy at work? The American Time Use Survey asks people to score their happiness from 0 to 6, where 0 is not happy at all and 6 is very happy. Here’s how people answered…” [The data, via IPUMS, comes from the American Time Use Survey well-being module, which ran in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2021.
