In episode 94 of Fintech Chatter Podcast Dexter Cousins is joined by Senator Andrew Bragg.
In his first term as an elected official, Senator Bragg was appointed Chair of the Senate Inquiry into Fintech.
As his 18 months in the role comes to a close we look back on his time in Fintech.
The inquiry, one of the first in the world, has been a great success leading to real change. Many recommendations in the report were actioned at the last budget.
