Like any right-thinking Australian, I was outraged to learn from a newspaper that our oldest bank has broken the law on 23 million separate occasions. ‘What if one of those transactions involved me?’ I thought, before rushing to check my statements. And when I learnt that the bank who’s current advertising slogan is ‘Help, it’s what Australians do’, and whose TV commercials boast a long-standing commitment to alleviating the struggles of ordinary Australians, has more recently been extending a helping hand to international terrorist organisations and paedophile rings, I seriously considered closing my account.
