Print Consumer advocacy group CHOICE is calling on the Federal Government to pass laws to establish the Compensation Scheme of Last Resort (CSLR) and Financial Accountability Regime (FAR), which have been delayed due to COVID-19. The Federal Government had originally committed to introduce CSLR to the House of Representatives by 30 December, 2020. That commitment was delayed until 30 June, 2021, but that deadline had passed without the legislation being introduced due to budgetary issues and no new deadline established. Alan Kirkland, CHOICE chief executive, said banking and financial advice victims were still waiting on one of the key recommendations of the Royal Commission.
