        Hey Labor tried to do something about the Banks as far back as 1947 so ponder that while the worst Treasure in Australia’s history ties himself in knots.

        Under Shortens logic the banks only started ripping off customers the moment the Libs got into power. The 6yrs Labor were in power Shorten was to busy sharpening knives for his notorious back stabbing of 2PMs .Besides this what has he really done for the country

        More of the same from this belligerent, insane, petulant non govt. How far back should we go then to excuse current day failings. Well lets remember this when Labor win, because Labor will win u Murdoch hacks.

        @billshortenmp @shorteso then why did Labour never start an enquiry into Banks when they were in thhe top seat. Banking has been corrupt since i worked in the industry in 1981 and Labour had as much time as Liberal to initiate the enquiry or did would this upset your donations

        Honestly it's like a pissing contest. The constant blame game has worn thin with constituents, when will govts realise we are tired of this.

        This issue has been going on for decades, many PM's from all parties have done nothing to investigate, grandpa was right to bury his cash in a biscuit tin in the backyard.
