Good to see Maurice Blackburn's passion for criticising the work of the Insurance in Superannuation Working Group before they've even reported their recommendations.

Embarrassingly, it would seem Maurice Blackburn sings from the same hymn sheet when it comes to their criticism. While this time we have Kim Shaw telling us the Financial Services Council's proposed code has all the bite of a month old lettuce, it was Josh Mennen, also from Maurice Blackburn, who gave us these exact words in October 2016 in his pointed criticism of the FSC's code.

In this debate, the FSC plays as an important role as the consumer representatives. They, like consumer representatives, are represented on the ISWG. It is a group made up of sensible people willing to discuss the need for a strong and robust insurance sector with adequate consumer protections. I might contemplate that regurgitating gimicky catch phrases isn't helpful and this is why Maurice Blackburn wasn't invited to join the ISWG. Maybe Maurice Blackburn has slugs eating their lettuce!
