Yellow Vest Peaceful Protests Coming Soon

France started it - and now the Yellow Vest movement is launching in Australia. Various Aussie groups have decided to work together peacefully to bring to Australia the one key goal of the Yellow Vests - Citizen Initiated Referendum. The key to bringing the power of democracy back to the people. If it's good enough for the Swiss it's good enough for all of us.

Marginal Seat Candidates Must Step Up

People power ramps up to save our democracy and country. For too long both major parties have allowed the finance sector to engage in misconduct and crime. The 2019 election is our best chance to change banking and politics. We encourage you to only vote for candidates that support good policy. The first test? We want all politicians to support a longer and stronger Banking Royal Commission. Commissioner Hayne has ignored too much of the most serious abuses. Now we will make sure Scott Morrison supports us by getting the LNP marginal seat candidates on side. Here's how we can all do it.

Banking Royal Commission Update - September 2018

Bank Reform Now (BRN) and our friends have been working towards a powerful Banking Royal Commission in Australia for over 5 years. For decades both major Australian Political parties ignored calls for a proper investigation into bank misconduct. The banks continued ripping off clients and thanks to government and regulatory inaction avoided serious reforms and payment of proper compensation to bank victims.

We all have pressed on regardless because we knew this was a battle that had to be won. Public & political pressure grew and eventually, in late 2017 the banks got in first and authorised Turnbull to put up their Royal Commission on their terms. Turnbull always opposed us... now he is gone. What now?

Pollies Given Banking Facts

BRN is aiming to get a roomful of politicians and journalists to attend the 14.08.18 Media Forum hosted by Senator Anning. We have invited over 700 people. Each of those invited have been given the information below. These outrageous cases of bank criminality - as well as what will be revealed at the Forum - prove the need for a longer and stronger Banking Royal Commission. Meaningful reforms will require major changes in the way the finance system is structured. The question is .... will Commissioner Hayne, the pollies and the journalists side with the people .... or the banks?

BRN KPI For BanksRC

Turnbull and the banks wanted a sham Royal Commission into the the finance sector. BRN has released 11 Key Performance Indicators to help us identify whether the Hayne inquiry is genuine or not. The Commissioner has the powers required to make sure each point is met. Will he do the job? Apart from successfully meeting the KPIs the other measure of the Commission's worth will of course be the brightness of the smile on the Turnbull dial.

Sham Commission Must Be Opposed

The battle for a proper investigation into the financial system has intensified with Malcolm Turnbull's attempts to sabotage the upcoming Royal Commission with unsatisfactory terms of reference.
