Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra in Money Matters, which aired live on Friday 4 July 2025. The topic for this week is: Start changing your habits in the new financial year to help you achieve your medium and long term goals. Change can be hard at any point, but the new financial year provides you with an opportunity to review where you are at, as it coincides with pulling together the information you need to complete your personal tax return.
