“I am in awe of what you do,” said Minister for Small Business Michael McCormack to a room full of brokers in Sydney yesterday (26 April).

At a breakfast event held by the Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA), the minister spoke of the challenges and opportunities that brokers face each day from areas such as housing affordability, the banking sector, regulation & government, and innovation.

“I truly am in awe of what you do because I know. I ran my own small business for eight years,” he said.
