Frydenberg Breaks The CodeThe Australian Banking Association released its new Code of Banking Practice on the 1st of July. This letter was to be sent to Treasurer Frydenberg a few days later but we decided to hang onto it while we monitored ASIC, Treasury and the banks. We have now sent this to the Treasurer and publish it here today because very soon the Senate will vote on a motion to disallow the new Code. Every Senator must vote to axe the code ..... here's why....... |

Justice Demands Action - Right NowThe finance sector has been shown to be operating in a way that harms customers and citizens in general. Criminals within the system have been allowed to profit from horrific abuses by not only bank CEOs and boards but also ASIC, the Bankers Association - and of course .... the politicians that they pretty much own and control. Everyone is affected - if people can't trust the government and the banks we really are done for. |

Election 2019 CommentaryElection surprise. The ALP has a real knack of choosing flawed characters to lead from opposition. Bill Shorten had baggage. The public never warmed to him or trusted him. Rudd's second coming relied on the party locking in the leader. What could go wrong? |

Australia Is Being RobbedWolves in sheep's clothing infest our government. Australia and its people are being robbed. Politicians and the major parties are facilitating the theft of our incomes, freedoms, resources and other assets. Farms, businesses, lives - all being stolen. Election 2019 is our opportunity to force new policies onto the agenda. Whoever wins any election must understand that they serve us ... not the party, not the elite and not themselves. |

ALP and LNP Must Both Be Sacked At Election 2019The major parties have failed. They have had decades to bring about genuine reforms to decrease corruption and increase the well being of citizens. It is now clear to most that our democracy is being abused. The major parties serve elite and often foreign interests. Dodgy trade deals. Selling off our land and businesses. Seeing housing become unaffordable ..... all signs of something being terribly wrong. It's time to break out of the two party double-cross. |

Election 2019: Choose Candidates Wisely - The ListElection 2019 has some bright and caring people running with minor parties or as independents. The ones listed here support new ideas. They care about our country being sold out and ripped off. They want crooked bankers jailed and their victims compensated. We need good people in government before it's too late. The two party charade has reached its use by date. Let's see them each get less than a 30% primary vote. There are plenty of good alternatives. Election 2019 - It's our turn to win. |

UK Courts To Expose NABNAB's previous CEOs Andrew Thorburn and Cameron Clyne have serious questions to answer over the bank's dealing in the UK. Clydesdale and Yorkshire banks have been found to be engaged in dodgy dealings and the Australian head office at the time was up to its neck in it. |

Many of us are sick of being lied to and robbed by politicians and the corporations that own them. It's time to unite and demand new ideas for reform and justice. The people have the power. At Election 2019 we really must use it wisely. |

Pollies Just Lying For Your VoteDo you think this time it will be different? How can we be sure that Scott Morrison and Bill Shorten are lying for your vote? Past performance is a good guide. BRN feels the only way to change things is to push independents and minor parties to support good policy. This will put important issues on the agenda. Once this attracts media attention the candidates in the major parties will realise their seats are at risk - there are no safe seats now. They and their parties too will then have to look at new ideas and policies. Voters are crying out for something different. The LNP and ALP will be struggling for a 30% primary vote. Voters have their boots and baseball bats ready. Election 2019 is our big chance for big opportunities. |

Step 3 - SUMIR - Triphasic Citizenship DividendIf properly implemented the three step SUMIR program would end poverty. Every person deserves a fair go to build a good life. Step 3 - The Triphasic Citizenship Dividend is the payoff. Pollies that support the elite can easily be identified - they will reject meaningful reform. They prefer business as usual - selling out the people and their country. |

Step 1 - SUMIR - Sovereign Wealth FundMany nations have a Sovereign Wealth Fund. There is no reason Australia can't have one which serves the nation's interests. Here we describe how it would look and how it would be funded. Including the repatriation of wealth stolen from the people by criminals aided and abetted by corrupt politicians. The problems allowing the theft to occur are systemic & structural and therefore so are the solutions. |

Step 2 - SUMIR - Sovereign Monetary SystemAustralia used to have a national bank - the Commonwealth Bank. It was the people's bank designed to serve the nation's interests. It was stolen ... and it was an inside job. People are beginning to realise that having a criminal cartel controlling money and politics might not be such a good idea. Time for a dose of structural reform before it's too late. It's not just money at risk - it's freedom and lives. |

Journalism Versus the Big BanksAdele Ferguson is one of the champions of the bank warriors. Without her gutsy investigative journalism it is quite likely that there would not have been a Royal Commission into banking. Bank Warriors support her call for a new Royal Commission into APRA and ASIC. |

CBA Was Not A Fair Legal PlayerWhen asked at the 8.3.19 House Economics Committee CEO Grilling whether CBA had been a Model Litigant CEO Matt Comyn replies "No." This is significant for people that were subjected to unconscionable legal machinations by the bank's lawyers. Cases such as those of Dr Robert Cooke, Tony Rigg and Rory O'brien are now able to be looked at freshly .... and Mr Comyn promised he would. We welcome his commitment. |

Bank Separation Now On The AgendaBankers thought they were off the hook with the handicapped Royal Commission but the Hayne inquiry revealed just enough for most informed people and journalists to realise that what wasn't exposed was more important than what was. The finance system is structured to fleece the population. CEC's Robert Barwick understands this very well. In an exclusive editorial for BRN he explains exactly why the banks must be broken up - vertically and horizontally. The Senate has been given the Banking System Reform (Separation of Banks) Bill 2019. Robert also shows how you can make a submission to support it ..... please do. |

Yellow Vests In AustraliaBank Reform Now CEO launches Yellow Vest Sydney gathering with powerful speech that spills the beans that the elite and their pollies don't want you to know about. The Yellow Vest movement's first Australian rallies began on Saturday the 19th of January 2019. While we have been inspired by the French movement Aussies are doing it their way. Peaceful gatherings to show the government we are sick of business as usual. For decades both major parties have worked against the people's interests. Just like BRN, the Yellow Vests want to bring power back to the people. They want to stop the elite controlling governments in order to facilitate their continuous fleecing of the people and country. Citizen Initiated Referendum is the only official policy they are pushing for. |

Banks Hide Genuine Remediation FormulaThe old bank routine of Deny - Delay - Deceive no longer works. It has been flattened by Evidence - Logic - Facts - according to Bank Reform Now CEO Dr Peter Brandson. Now bankers accept remediation payments are to be paid but many want to diddle victims once again. BRN reveals today the formula for remediation that the banks don't want you to know about. Study it and spread it around. Proper remediation puts a bank client into the position they would be enjoying if the crime had not been committed. |

Marginal Seat Candidates Must Step UpPeople 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. |

Banks Using Smoke and Mirrors AgainIt's pretty hard to trust Anna Bligh and the Australian Banking Association when you consider the history of banking in Australia since the first Code of Conduct came into existence in 1993. The Soviet Union had possibly the finest documentation protecting the Human Rights of its citizens. Words on paper don't cut it..!! The system must be structured to serve the people's legitimate needs and interests. The Banking Codes have always served the interests of the banks. The new code is no different. But don't worry folks ...... there is light at the end of this long and torturous tunnel. |

Westpac Scandal About To BlowDr Evan Jones has recently commented on several cases Bank Reform Now has been assisting with. The Hayes and Uebergang cases raise very serious issues for Westpac. CEO Brian Hartzer wasn't at the bank when these issues surfaced but he can read. When Westpac was on the edge of collapse drastic measures were part of the rescue response. It's all been detailed in Hansard and then Senator Paul McLean's book Bankers And Bastards. The Westpac Letters scandal showed how the bank's board and their lawyers operated. We know they broke the law. We know they destroyed lives and businesses. Colin Uebergang suffered as a direct result. It's not good enough to pretend the bankers were saints in the 90s. We all now know the truth. |

Appalling Banking Will Be Fully ExposedAFCA Chair Helen Coonan says community trust in the finance sector had been "shattered", with financial institutions causing "despair and hopelessness in many broken lives and broken businesses." If a key part of the economy profits from this type of crooked dealing with customers something is terribly wrong. If we have to remove one CEO after another so be it. Our sense of justice has not been tempered .... it's been honed razor sharp and it will be used to remove recalcitrant bankers, regulators and politicians. Justice has been delayed ..... it will not be denied and it will be sweet. |

Hayne Hamstrung From The StartNationals MP Barry O’Sullivan triggered the Royal Commission being called by Turnbull and Morrison but no politician was responsible. Bank reform was on the agenda thanks to brave whistleblowers and gutsy journalists like Jeff Morris and Adele Ferguson. Victims of bank misconduct and activists worked on the push to reform using everything they had. Social media, mainstream media and political contacts were worked tirelessly. The bankers saw what was coming and decided to put their inquiry up with their terms and their commissioner by using their Prime Minister and their Treasurer. Even though the Royal Commission was hobbled from the start it did serve a purpose... and everyone very well knows it covered up more than it exposed. This is an excerpt from Michael Roddan's book The People vs The Banks. The battle is still being waged and the people will win the war. |

Senate Inquiry Misses The PointThe Hayne RC and the Senate Access To Justice inquiry have dropped the ball. The only way banks can engage with clients in the heavy handed, deceptive, unconscionable and often criminal way that they do is thanks to a "justice" system that enables and allows them to get away with serious abuses. Any other business or individual that treated clients in the way the banks regularly do would see perpetrators fined and jailed. Yes - the abuses we have researched are that serious. Politicians and multiple inquires have been informed. So clearly the other protection required by banks is political. Therefore until people take political action to reform the system nothing will be achieved. Election 2019 is the time to take action. |

Whistleblower Drops Bombshell On SenateJeff Morris is blowing the whistle even harder now. The Senate has been informed and anyone who reads Jeff's submission to the Access To Justice Inquiry will learn the truth about the way banks operate. Bank can no longer deny the bleeding obvious. BRN has cases in front of all the major banks ... and they involve matters exposed by Jeff right here. |

NAB Promises To Play FairAll four major banks have now committed to becoming Model Litigants. NAB was the last to do so. Acting CEO Phil Chronican who will soon take over as Chairman of the bank's board was in the hot seat at the March 2019 House Economics Committee bank CEO grilling. He made it clear that the bank is committed to acting ethically, morally and fairly when dealing with clients where a dispute exists. This is a critical breakthrough in the quest for justice. Mr Chronican and other bankers have been given cases where the bank's lawyers most certainly did not act as Model Litigants. |

ASIC Wants To Play FairASIC boss James Shipton is talking tough with calls to rebuild trust in the finance sector and for bankers to be fair in their dealings with clients. It shouldn't be so hard. All that is required is for ethical behaviour to become the norm. Bankers need to realise they don't deserve a disproportionate share of their client's and the nation's wealth. The fleecing must stop. |

BOQ ExposedIt's not just the big four banks that have been abusing their clients and the law. Second tier operations like Bank Of Queensland got off even lighter than the big banks. Bankers need to look at what even the impaired Royal Commission managed to do to AMP. Michael Sanderson is owed around $2 million after BOQ manipulated valuations to assist its asset stripping sting. Time for the bank to pay up. See story for important information re: valuation abuse; Equality of Arms; Model Litigant guidelines. It's a game changer. |

Thorburn Displays More Than Poor JudgementIt is not just lack of judgement and poor governance in his own office. Rosemary Rogers also worked in Cameron Clyne's office. The real issue is this - if the CEO could not see crimes and misconduct in their own office it is not surprising that they may not have seen criminal cells working in the bank right around the country. We gave Mr Thorburn evidence of these crimes in October last year. He tried to cover it up with a dodgy mediation process ..... he will be looking for work very soon. |

Rowena Orr QC Has Been InformedCBA survivor, warrior and BRN friend Rory O'Brien makes the case ....... for some inexplicable reason the Royal Commission is covering up the CBA / Bankwest heist.

NAB Using Ex-Victorian Premier To Compensate VictimsThe bank warriors have made their powerful presence felt at another bank AGM - this time at NAB's.

Here reporter Joyce Moullakis explains what NAB is trying to do with the help of Jeff Kennett. |

Scott Morrison Not Shocked By Bank CrimesThese two emails show you what we are dealing with. The first to the Prime Minister makes it clear about the crimes that are being covered up by the Hayne Royal Commission. The response which arrived three months later on the eve of the Hayne report is a form letter which makes no mention of the key issues needing attention. |
