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.

This is a classic example of how the system is rigged with players in the industry manipulating regulatory agencies and government.	Read More...
