Banks furious over royal commission lock-out | Sky News Australia

Source: News Formal (newsformal.com)

Hope the warrants are ready ... passports to hand in etc.

there should be criminal charges! these people destroyed peoples lives auspol bankingRC bankingroyalcommision

Awww, diddums.

I don't even know if their staff know it has happened. A friend was applying for a mortgage last week and was told that taking out a home and contents insurance policy would 'assist with the loan application process'...DeniseBrailey

Well they shouldn't have done anything criminal should they.

Awkward?

Cannot believe the Australian Bankers Association representation including their legal staff who will be in the lock up along with the media would not be tasked with notifying them at the same time a media contact would be possible. Disingenuous.

How tragic for them. Wishing those involved a lovely weekend.

L would banned all lobbyists from parliament

MSMWatchdog2013 No problems here.

Reaction is not the road to redemption Just goes to show who owns who & why LiberalAus resisted & were poised to give their masters a massive tax break

Cool.

The real trouble here is that the LNP are in Government and will mistreat the findings and may even tip off the criminals or even not prosecute them.

MSMWatchdog2013 Poor Diddums!

Tough shit. Better than a 05:00 knock on the door with a ten-pound hammer.

Well good. They’ve always had far too much power.

Awesome, they don’t deserve any better

MSMWatchdog2013 I won’t be surprised is somehow only lower ranked players get their arses kicked. The CEO’s & top managers will manage to walk away with promises of “we fixed it”. Sure - more like “we rigged it. “

Poor banks. Cry me a river 😥

MSMWatchdog2013

Criminal charges for you cheating criminals would be excellent.

In 3 months time: THERE'S A COCKROACH in the banker's jail cell. (I meant that in the conventional sense)

They deserve it

Good

And we are supposed to feel empathy toward these thieves?

This government will let them all off. Banks will continue to rip people off

Thieves and Liars! Why do they deserve access to the facts first? We should see criminal charges as a result of this commission! A$$covering!

westozdonna I hope flashing lights and handcuffs is the first they hear about it. Entitled pricks.

It's not usual practice to let the accused choose how they break the news of being charged with a crime.

Yeah that’s their biggest problem

It would be better if industry members could be imprisoned before they found out through media articles.

No time to do any deals?

Why should criminals be given a friendly heads up before being ‘pursued’? If you stole a dollar from the bank would you be given the same?

I hear there's a recommendation from the Commissioner that Banks and Insurance Companies (AMP) hand over Superanuation to the Federal Govt or Unions. Our money will be safe there.

Sounds good.

Then they shouldn't have done anything wrong. BankingRC auspol MSM

Jesus. How bloody stupid are they? The implications are extensive. Share market implications. Absconding. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Failing to see the issue here? Is this news?

Diddums

Surely Michaelia Cash could tip them off?

BS! That’s not how it really works! They’ll have had a surreptitious hand in writing it!

Oh no. Criminals might not get the silver spoon treatment. What can we do about this?

The banks have no place being upset. They’ve screwed client for decades. Stuff them.

And?

They wrote the guidelines for the royal commission themselves, and they still got busted left right and centre. Imagine if it was a proper inquiry. They'd all be in prison now.

Morrison should resign after this .He allowed the banks to continue to rip off customers Because he said no 26 times no RC is required.We have put stringent policies in place .Well we all know what happened at the RC .Morrision & his front bench goons .Have a Failed everyone

I feel desperately sorry for them. Maybe though if they didn’t break the law, they wouldn’t have to worry about anything to start with. Seems fitting that they will find out at the same time as the people they committed the acts to. No special treatment anymore

That’s only really a problem for those who are themselves pursuing criminal activity

Can’t freaking wait to see some bankers in handcuffs!!

Well they should have thought about it before commencing crimes I think.

It is this attitude of entitlement to be treated differently to the everyday salary earner that got them into this mess. I am equally invested - mortgage, super, etc. Happy to wait, so should they be. auspol

If they didn't break the law then they'll have nothing to be worried about

yeah this is totally fine to be honest

daveyk317 They need a few days grace to flee overseas lest they be stopped at the boarding gate?

Nor should they! where criminal conduct or miconduct found just charge them and jail the CEO'S and Boards.

Nail the up!

GCobber99

Only if there’s Criminality!

Shame... I'd prefer they found out via a 5am knock at the door and half a dozen marked cars out the front like other criminals. Search warrants, seizure of personal documents, computers, phones...cuffed on the nature strip in their dressing gowns while the neighbours stare.

tough bikkies

It’s a valid fear. Hopefully many will be in handcuffs on the first day.

I would be amazed if the BIG 4 don't already have a copy.

Not sure what the problem is.

So why would these criminals be any different to any other criminal identified in an inquiry. Still trying to live a life of privilege.

Good.

Great effort. Bought the actual newspaper early this morning from my local country newsagent. Not a single word or image on the final. It was next to the Herald Sun rack, with a front page photo and extensive news coverage of the win and the ceremony. Why? I love her humility and graciousness. 💓💓💓💓
