The BRN Gross Domestic Well Being Index Have you noticed how much mental illness, drug & alcohol abuse, domestic violence and other societal ills exist in "wealthy" countries? There is a lot of unhappiness. Maybe the way we measure wealth and well being needs to be updated. BRN's CEO throws some ideas into the ring and wants some help developing them.	Read More...
The Paper Chains That Bind You Most of us are being exploited one way or another. The laws that suppress and control us don't seem to apply to the elite. The government and legal system serves the elite and deliberately works against our interests. Part of the solution is to see our fundamental rights and responsibilities re-established, cherished and respected .... but first we have to recognise the paper chains that bind us while leaving the elite free to do as they please .... at our expense.

Beware CUSO Syndrome. Our society has an unhealthy attraction to "growth." All too often this growth is achieved by exploiting honest people that have worked all their lives to produce valued goods and services. The banking and finance system in particular has a very sordid track record of deception, misconduct and rip offs. Crime and corruption permeates our law, politics and economy. Time to clean it up - or you could be the next to be chewed up and spat out.	Read More...

Suzi was the instigator of the recent #TTTRally at Parliament House in Canberra and has a track record of "bulldog grip" like determination to see justice done, not just for herself but for all bank victims. She shares with us her letter sent to CBA with a very simple request...	Read More...

Take The TTTRally to Your Local Member's Electoral Office Thousands to rally right around the nation. At the very same time that many bank victims will be telling the politicians that have the decency to come and hear their stories outside Parliament House we have organised people to assemble outside every MPs electoral office to have petitions signed. The message will be loud and clear - The people want a Royal Commission, they want the rip offs stopped and they want the crooks jailed. We are fed up with the self serving lies. We don't want anymore phony committees, commissions or inquiries. Don't invite CEOs to lunch ... invite them over to serve a long term.	Read More...

Time For Sensible Negotiation With a big turn away from the major parties - opportunities open up for a new style of politics. Co-operate or perish? Will Turnbull have what it takes to negotiate sensible policies with the independents and minor parties?	Read More...
Two Parties Hammered At Election 2016 Voters are seeing through the two party trickery that is spoiling our country. In 2016 it is clear .... we don't trust the major parties. If both parties were serious about a banking Royal Commission the result would have been decisive .... one way or another.	Read More...
The Happy ALP Family Launches Its Bid For Election 2016 Promises, promises - my, my - how these politicians make such great promises. What we need to see is great policies put into practice. Shorten can promise anything because he knows he won't win the election. Any politician can promise a Royal Commission - especially if he won't have to deliver it. The trick is to get fair dinkum one in place .... and that will only happen if the people join in with an effective grass roots campaign and take massive action at just the right time - and that time is just months away.

Turnbull's Job At Risk Turnbull's government could lose a vote in the House of Reps regarding a Royal Commission or Commission of Inquiry into the banks. If he loses the vote he loses the top job and the LNP could be defeated in an election. Turnbull stayed loyal to the banks above his countrymen for just a little bit too long. The lame duck is now a dead duck.	Read More...
Former ALP Qld Premier To Head Bankers' Association Anna Bligh is now the head of the Australian Bankers’ Association. This tells us all we need to know about how politics works in Australia. Do not expect any politician - particularly one from the big two - to work in your interests .... or even the country's interests. Is there anyone - or any group - that will help drain the swamp in Canberra?	Read More...
Farmer putting heat on bankers "How come a business worth $6.5 million could sell for only $1.55 million? When a bank and liquidator decide to strip a company of value and sell it off in such a way that the borrower loses all equity ... that's how come. In many cases insider mates of bankers, lawyers or receivers buy the property at a bargain price. These are the types of crimes our Prime Minister doesn't care about. There is no excuse. Mr Turnbull .... Bring on a Royal Commission!	Read More...
Bankers in trouble if targets not met Have you ever suspected that your banker was rewarded for selling you products that were unnecessary, too expensive and not in your interests? Well a new report commissioned by the Australian Bankers Association proves it. The Sedgwick review was designed by the bankers to defuse calls for a Royal Commission. Well it's backfired. Bank insiders spill the beans on the pressure staff are put under to meet sales targets and boost their pay with bonuses and commissions. Commission programs of this nature create perverse incentives and staff are encouraged to act against the interests of clients. Read the full report linked below this article.	Read More...
The bankers' money creation scam exposed ..... again. Professor Werner is pleased the world is waking up to the truth of how money is created, but is very displeased with what he sees as the central bankers’ reaction: the death of cash and the rise of central bank-controlled digital currency. He sounds another warning very much like BRN's - we are heading toward an Orwellian world where all power and wealth is concentrated in the hands of the manipulators of money. A world where democracy is an illusion and politicians serve the interest's of the elite 0.1%.	Read More...
Aussie War Hero's Family Ripped Off This case demands a review of Perpetual's lending history. Retrospective justice must be visited upon all of the disabled souls deliberately targeted by rogue finance brokers commissioned and encouraged by Perpetual. What sort of country has Australia become? Where rogues can steal without penalty from anyone they target even a war hero such as Sir "Weary" Dunlop. It gets worse - Geoff Lloyd, the CEO of Perpetual, was recently appointed to Chair the Financial Services Council - the body overseeing Australia’s $2.6 trillion wealth management industry. This is a classic example of how the system is rigged with players in the industry manipulating regulatory agencies and government.	Read More...
ASIC Hits CBA & NAB ..... With A Xmas Snowflake ASIC still doesn't get it. If you want to stop the crimes the penalty must be greater than the profit. Any other businessmen engaging in the types of abuses bankers are profiting from in would be jailed. The government, regulators and courts are facilitating these crimes. Political parties get donations. Politicians get jobs in the finance sector upon retirement. This game must be exposed and stopped.	Read More...
European Banks In Trouble - Italy Looking to end a protracted banking crisis that threatens Italy's economy, Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni has authorised a €20 billion ($29 billion) fund to help lenders in distress - first and foremost Monte dei Paschi.

Read More...
European Banks In Trouble - Germany Banks are being fined tens of billions of dollars in Europe and America. The people who profited from the crimes are not paying a penalty. Shareholders and taxpayers are paying. The world can no longer afford bankers getting away with these predatory and unconscionable business tactics. Banking is organised crime on a grand scale. We will only see reforms when the bankers involved are jailed and stripped of their ill-gotten assets.	Read More...
CBA & NAB admit to shocking behaviour of FOREX Traders ASIC uncovers shocking abuses in the foreign exchange divisions of both CBA and NAB. The banks are slapped with enforceable undertakings. What does a crooked banker have to do to go to jail? Oh yeah .... they have to steal from the bank rather than the customers. Royal Commission must be called. We will see scandal after scandal revealed because the industry is engaged in criminal activity and more whistleblowers are coming forward every day.	Read More...

Australia On Trial John Wilson sounds the warning. Your country's Sovereignty ..... and your freedoms and rights have been stolen. You can still get them back but it will be a battle.

Senator Rodney Culleton is battling the High Court right now. He must have a Trial by Jury.	Read More...

Australia's Bill of Rights and Responsibilities The world is changing. People are extremely unhappy with the elite ripping them off and trampling their rights and freedoms.

Tough luck! If the powerful elite abuse government and media to slowly steal these rights. Tough luck! These are a no go area. Off limits.
