    The MFAA and FBAA have been actively lobbying the NSW government for changes to the payroll tax law. This is commendable, but it does not address the immediate problem brokers face—LMG and potentially other aggregators shifting costs onto brokers.
    • Where is the advocacy to stop aggregators from passing on costs to brokers?
    • Why is there no industry-wide effort to ensure brokers are not paying a tax that legally belongs to the aggregator?
    • What steps are being taken to protect brokers from future liabilities, such as superannuation obligations?
    It is clear that brokers are being treated as collateral damage in this process. While lobbying efforts continue, brokers are left to bear the immediate financial cost with little protection from the organizations meant to represent them.
