Wed, 05 Aug 2026 - 157 - ASIC warning: your offset account might not be offsetting at all
Offset accounts are supposed to be one of the simplest products in banking. Put money in, link it to your home loan and pay less interest. ASIC’s latest investigation suggests you might need to open your statements and check if your offset account is in fact working like that.
This week on the podcast I sat down with the new ASIC Chair Sarah Court to unpack one of the most significant banking reports released this year. This week, ASIC have announced that they have dived deep into how offset accounts are working, and have concern that many are not working as they are supposed to. ASIC’s investigation found banks have already paid more than $55 million in compensation over two years after offset accounts failed to reduce customers’ home loan interest as promised. Even more concerning, the regulator says the true scale of the problem may be much larger because some banks couldn’t reliably identify customers who had requested an offset account in the first place.
We talk through how offset accounts are supposed to work, why so many failures have occurred, why they’re often difficult for customers to detect, and the simple checks every mortgage holder should make - particularly if you’ve refinanced, switched loan products or come off a fixed-rate loan in recent years (and even if you haven’t).

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 - 138 - Are you proactive about the risk of losing your job?
We spend so much time obsessing over our super, property and portfolios, but we often ignore our most valuable asset: our ability to earn. Think of your career not just as a job, but as an asset that requires constant reinvestment. Too many people with big, successful careers are getting caught off guard by restructures or market shifts, sometimes finding themselves unemployed and underprepared for a digital-first job market. So, how do you bulletproof your employability?
In this episode, I chat to Jannine Fraser, who works right at the coalface, helping people navigate career transitions when things go wrong - and how to prepare yourself in case they do.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 - 137 - The truth about financial advice!
If you've ever felt unsure whether financial advice was really built for someone like you, this episode will help you understand the landscape and hopefully feel more confident navigating it.
I chat toPaul Feeney, founder and CEO of Otivo and someone who has spent years inside the advice industry. It’s a refreshingly honest take on where it works, where it falls short, and what everyday Australians can do about it. The reality is that quality personalised advice has historically been more accessible to people with significant assets, leaving many everyday Australians without affordable guidance at the very moment they need it most. We dig into the real difference between information, guidance and advice, because these words get thrown around a lot and they don't mean the same thing. Information educates, guidance helps, and regulated advice is personalised to your exact situation. We also explore the use of AI for advice. These tools are genuinely useful for exploring ideas, stress-testing thinking and preparing smart questions before you see an adviser or call your super fund.

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 - 72 - How fast can markets recover from here?
In this episode of Prime Time, I’m joined by economist Malcolm Wood, Head of Institutional Research and Asset Allocation at Ord Minnett to unpack the uncomfortable question so many retirees and pre-retirees are quietly asking: How bad is this going to get—and how fast could we recover?
Markets have been shaky. Super balances are bouncing around. There’s a lot of economic noise in the media right now—headlines full of political chaos, tariff announcements, rate cut speculation, and global uncertainty. It’s hard to know what’s signal and what’s just noise.
Malcolm offers a calm, clear, and surprisingly optimistic take on what’s going on—and what it all means for investors, especially those nearing or in retirement.
We dig into the ripple effects of Trump 2.0 and why this version of Trumpism is landing faster and harder than many expected. Malcolm talks through six big themes he’s tracking in the global economy right now, and how they affect everything from currency markets to property prices to your super fund's performance.
We also look at Australia’s economic position, our unique vulnerabilities in a world shifting away from China and towards more protectionist trade settings, and what the potential outcomes of our own looming federal election could mean for market reforms.
If you’re managing your finances carefully in the second half of life—and you’re wondering whether this rough patch will last—this episode is packed with practical insights and a grounded view of where we’re heading next.
