Royal Commissions solve nothing.

Hard to disagree with any of this Thomas! Except perhaps the timeline, which was very cleverly concealed by paste and copy incompetence?

What we have is a handful of instances over the past couple of decades of banks or employees behaving badly. These were uncovered and dealt with. There is no sign of systematic rorting or behavioral problems that are usually the requirements for a royal commission.

Labor's call is just a distraction from the many adverse findings against the unions.

I support such an inquiry and it should be sufficiently broad that includes the creation of money and investigation on the lies and deceptions that characterise loans.

It is hard to disagree.

Extend that inquiry into how money is created and why the govt did not reserve for us (via) itself, the power to create credit for our (its) own purposes, when it gave the banks the right to create money out of thin air.
