        Hey @australian . I’d read the story if you’d let me. I’d love do know how the hell he tries to defend the banks? Not that I’m surprised he’d try. I dunno. Maybe I just need a laugh.

        The great bulk of financial advisers & I’m sure bulk of employees at these institutions, AMP, the banks, have behaved in an ethical, honourable fashion. “A whole group of men and women who’ve worked very hard …some of them have got bonuses and earned every penny of those bonuses

        John Howard is a war criminal and will always be remembered as such. No need to keep asking him his opinion about things. He’s already dead to our country.

        Of course not, he's also in no rush to face war crimes. So if the evidence tells me the banking system needs to be reset back to 1947 I should do it. If it turns out I'm wrong later, I'll just say I based it on the evidence available at the time. Dumb people.

        No John they are essentailly a monopoly that can control any industry by providing services or not, charging more or less. The commonwealth bank just got lots of remuneration by breaking AML ATF laws. They constantly widthdraw services from any blockchain related exchange stifle.
