Investigative journalist Nicky Hager is the next speaker due to take the microphone at long-running Nelson public discussion forum, “Spirited Conversations”.
They aren’t offered a speaker’s fee, but that hasn’t stopped prominent people including Jacinda Ardern and Sir Geoffrey Palmer from coming to talk at an unassuming cafe in central Nelson. Renowned investigative journalist, Nicky Hager, was next in line to speak at the public discussion forum “Spirited Conversations”, which has been running out of Yaza Cafe for 20 years. The forum s co-ordinator Karen du Fresne said most of the people she had approached to speak at the forum since she took up the role five years ago, had accepted.
When demand is high and supply is constrained, prices go up. I learned that in Econ 101 at the Victoria University of Wellington.
However, the advice industry is attempting to reverse the law of supply and demand.
In the face of increasing demand for advice and diminishing supply (not to mention the rising cost to serve), it is pushing for improved affordability through simplification of processes and deregulation.
While other professionals relish the complexity and uncertainty in their chosen field because it enables them to charge more, advisers are desperate for greater simplicity, clarity and
harmonisation of regulation.
This emphasis on affordability stems from the industry’s product distribution roots. Manufacturers want advice to be cheap because their products are primarily distributed through advisers. Since inception, they have tried to set the price of advice.
