House Economics Committee to hear from APRA and ASIC

House of Representatives < 1 mins read

The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics will hold public hearings by videoconference on Friday, 25 October 2024 with representatives of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

The hearings are for the committee’s reviews of the APRA Annual Report 2023 and ASIC Annual Report 2023. The public hearings will be broadcast live at aph.gov.au/live.

The committee’s Chair, Dr Daniel Mulino MP, said that both regulators had given valuable evidence to the committee’s recent inquiries into flood insurance and economic dynamism, and the committee looked forward to exploring other important areas of their work.

“ASIC and APRA have crucial responsibilities supporting the stability and vitality of Australia’s markets and financial system,” he said.

“Both regulators have broad remits – particularly ASIC – and their performance has a huge impact on commerce and personal finance in this country. It is appropriate that they face regular parliamentary scrutiny, and this committee’s reviews of their annual reports are a part of that.”

More information about the reviews and upcoming public hearings are available on the committee’s website.

Focusing on subsidies alone could exacerbate childcare problems: new research

New researchby Mandala and The Front Project indicates that if the government focuses its childcare reforms solely on increased subsidies it is likely to continue problematic trends already affecting cost and quality.The research finds that access to not-for-profit childcare providers –who, on average, have been found to provide higher quality care with lower fees– is already drying up in high-to-mid SES areas and that trend is likely to spread to low SES areas if childcare reform is only focused on the demand-side. The reason is that for-profit providers are taking over from NFP providers as subsidies increase the pool of…
