Former rugby league player Jamal Idris is the new ambassador for Youpla — a rebrand of the Aboriginal Community Benefit Fund, which was the subject of scathing criticism during the Hayne inquiry.

The rebranded company has been on a charm offensive, visiting communities and meeting with Labor MP Linda Burney, who featured in a photo alongside Mr Simon and Mr Idris, which was posted to Youpla's Facebook and Instagram accounts.

"Banks and other financial institutions — including this one — need to change — or they don't deserve to operate. I made my views clear in the meeting." "I'm not here to rip anybody off, I'm here to make sure my direct family — my cousins, my aunties, my uncles — and also my wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family get what they sign up for and also get value out of the product that they sign up for," he said.

"My main priority is making sure that everyone is covered and making sure everyone has a plan for when they pass away, so that the burden is not left on the wider community to scrape up for the money to pay for the funeral."ACBF had a history of run-ins with corporate regulator ASIC, including over its use of Aboriginal imagery in its marketing.
