Thieving bastards. I'm sure all of their victims feel comforted by the fsll from grace & smaller executive bonuses, while they try to find a place to live.

There goes a lot of people’s dividends just fell also

Banks have Trillions between them........these figures are insignificant in the long term.

The poor babies! And jusyvto correct you...it’s NOT the Commonwealth Bank, it’s the Communist Bank!

What a slap in the face to the Royal Commission and every person ripped off by these banks in some criminal way

Damn poor execs will only be able to buy one super yacht this year

Oh boo hoo

It might be time for the super funds to not invest in banks anymore, the banks only care about their customers. Needs to be a royal commission. FFS.

Aawwww!!, that’s terrible. Must be in anticipation of the fines from the BRC.

Poor bastards. Let’s start a gofundme🙄

They better apply for a government emergency handout, dunno how anyine can survive on a 6m profit of $4.6 billion.......

I hope they can battle through!

... meaning they need to rob customers more in the second half to compensate ...

The poor things...lets have a whip around

naww shucks

Banks hand over $1 million in political donationsThe Commonwealth Bank increased its spend by 65 per cent as pressure mounted on the government to launch the royal commission. That is so so wrong. Who can help Australia because apparently we are not capable of helping our selves to run honest government. That’s got to be worth .. oh, I don’t know .. say 26 no votes for a royal commission? “National Australia Bank donated nothing after it announced in 2016 it would 'go clean' and put an end to political donations to avoid public perceptions of impropriety or graft.” Great, except the NAB Chairman acted like a spoilt brat at the BankingRC
