Unhappy bank customers start Bank Reform Party to contest next election

DISGRUNTLED bank customers and former staff have joined forces in a bid to contest the next federal election.

The Bank Reform Party, founded by members of Unhappy Banking, will seek registration from the Australian Electoral Commission once it has 500 formal members.

The party will field several senate candidates, who will campaign on a platform of fair competition and better regulation of the banking, supermarket and fuel sectors.

Former BankWest head of media Adrian Bradley said surveys had consistently showed most Australians wanted banks to be more accountable.

"We saw the banks' arrogance again last week when they thumbed their nose at the RBA's 50 basis point cut," he said in a statement.

"The ALP and Coalition are out of step with the Australian community's expectations on the need to reform our banks."

Unhappy Banking was started off the back of complaints from 400 angry ex-BankWest customers, who claim the bank had been colluding with property valuers to force commercial borrowers to default on their loans.

Oh the community has an expectation on the need to reform our banks does it? That's a scary thought. Is this the same community that had their hand out for a grant to buy property? The same community that happily took tax concessions on their property purchase? Is it the same community that stood idle while the country became a Banana republic and a million productive, well educated Australians expatriated to countries where people actually work for a living?

If true, that would be fraud. How is that a bank reform issue?

Gah ....

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
