Unions have a go
We have a government that cancelled a sitting week to avoid a royal commission into the banks. This is a government that is looking out for the banks but not you. #banksRC #QandA pic.twitter.com/T2bEV1AZXu

The Australian people call for a Royal Commission for two years. ???? does nothing.
The banks ask for a Royal Commission and it’s happening 5 minutes later. On their terms.
This is corporate rule. #auspol #banksrc

Our big tough PM @TurnbullMalcolm has just announced a Banking Royal Commission. Should have done it ages ago instead of protecting his elite mates. Taken far too long to do the right thing by the people. Ordinary Aussies have been robbed for too long. #auspol #ausunions #banksrc

The Australian people will not accept a mickey mouse, short term, underfunded banking Royal Commission. #auspol

Media weighs in

Ten days ago I told you via @Money_Minute on @TheTodayShow that senior bankers thought an Inquiry/Royal Commission was almost inevitable. They were right. @9NewsAUS pic.twitter.com/aeJGOV3VO7

And the politicians get on their soapbox
It says everything about Turnbull’s values and priorities that he only agreed to Labor’s Royal Commission when the banks told him he had to.

Malcolm Turnbull says a Royal Commission into the banks is “regrettable”.
I say it’s crucial.

Speaks volumes that Turnbull ???? fiercely resists a royal commission when the public cries out for one, but announces one when the banks want one – total tool of the top end of town #theysayjumphesayshowhigh #auspol

Well, that was awkward …

Member30 November 2017 at 8:57 pmThe bloody temerity of the contributing collective of holier than thou unions with their pompuos “na, na, told you so” response(s). Shonky culture and dirty underhand deals done all along the way with Billy shortchange the members and from the dizzy height in their ivory towers they dare to point their accusing finger: well two fingers to them ‘\/’.

Member1 December 2017 at 11:13 pmYears of trying got us, the paying piublic, nowhere with a true Royal Commission into the BANKING industry.
Banks ask for one (albeit on their terms) and a few hours later their wish is granted.
How do they have so much clout? Is it because they earn more money than me? Does that make them more important in Turnbull’s eyes? Why?
Or maybe its because they contribute more $$$ to keep the LNP in power, than I could ever earn in a lifetime?
Now, re: ” Union Plundering of Super funds”.
Industry funds are paying about TWICE the return, in percentange terms, than the retail (aka Bank Owned and run), funds.
The fees are a LOT less as well.
If that’s what “Union Plundering of Super funds” does, then there should be MORE of it!
