Have you been asleep for the past few months? We have a Royal Commission into the banks and it's already revealed plenty!

Aidan, Aidan, the banks, or more precisely, their owners, need to be assassinated for the severe criminal activities they have engaged in since they first began.
$6 Billion in 6 months.
If you can ever come to terms with the amount then try and justify it over the 6 months period.
They are laughing at us.
I can't believe that I heard one bank was fined in the millions.
That's a joke, they made that much whilst they were writing up the charge.
I would demand that their fines be in the billions, which is a more relevant fine in accordance with the amount they have stolen from the public.
I cringe at the thought that these scumbags are making soooooo much money for doing, NOTHING!
