The only reason ASIC can claim it clawed back $23 million is due to lobbyists like myself and others.  I spoke to Greg Tanzer, Darren McShane (dDir of Enfocrement and Errol Hoopman (ASIC Barrister) about Westpoint 15 July 2001 in Commissioner Tanzer's  Brisbane Offices.  I flew to see him on my meager budget.  ASIC has a BIG budget of $400 million plus a year and the Treasurer generously threw another $100 million at the ASIC PROBLEM end of last year.  Splashes of extra Mega Cash has not improved ASIC's performance.  They should try my budget.   BFCSA has achieved what a $1 billion regulatory system could not achieve.  All on song: AOFM, ASIC, APRA, RBA and Federal Treasury told porky pies to Parliament: "We see no systemic issues in banking."  Five wise monkeys...see our cartoon corner. We will set up an ASIC METER so you the public can vote IF you...

"It is not necessary to bury the truth. It is sufficient merely to delay it until nobody cares -- Napoleon Bonaparte" This must have been the motto of the Australian Public "Masters" for years! The unelected have run the country. Look at the results. More bureaucracy and less democracy. That's how they created "stability" - a hung parliament is the perfect justification. And nothing really changes beyond the window dressing. "Great coats on - great coats off"... Their objective? "Maintain the status quo and our positions and pay rises, our power and security ie. basically more of the same while politicians come and go. We run this country - forget that at your peril. Don't call us/treat us like public servants." And they're nasty if you try to threaten them in any way - not really nasty publicly, of course. It's all behind closed doors - that's how political power works....

0 0 0 by Stephen Lendman   At issue is a bad barrel, not a few rotten apples. Western banking is rife with fraud.   The business model of major banks is grand theft.   UK-based Barclays bank was caught in a Libor rigging scandal. Other major banks are involved.  Barclays reflects a corrupt system. Other major banks operate the same way. Western politicians permit it. "They uphold the doctrine that whatever banks do is right."   They're failing. They're zombie banks. The entire system is corrupt. It's crumbling. Barlays is in the center of the UK storm, but watch out. Expect more globally, much more. It's coming.   The seriousness of what's known is that a system portrayed as just and sound is failing. At issue is rampant speculation at the expense of stimulating real economic growth.  Casino capitalism doesn't work. Economies suffer. So do ordinary people. The entire banking...

0 0 0 0 0 0 The Human Race Film – a MATT NORMAN film Breaking News – High Court sets precedent against fraudulent banks 24 Jun 2010 High Court rules against financier of low-doc loans Message from Matt Norman; Before I let you read another great article by Anthony Klan, I just wanted to add my own thoughts on this outstanding result. This news comes just in time for my own high court application on the same grounds as below. The Supreme Court “MELBOURNE” are going to finally look at the professional misconduct of all cases against the banks they have deliberately turned away when they see the thousands of people who have all been led by the banks and the courts into losing homes, suicide, family breakups, bankruptsy because they are not allowing self litigants the chance to have their case heard. I also would like to say...

0 0 0 Extracts from : Submission to the SENATE ECONOMICS REFERENCES COMMITTEE INQUIRY INTO THE POST-GFC BANKING SECTOR Milind Sathye,  Professor of Banking and Finance, University of Canberra.   May 2012    The impact of international regulatory changes on the Australian banking sector,   Impact on Mortgage loans: Securitisation provided a major source of funding for mortgage loans. Under Basel III, there is enhanced risk weight for securitisation instruments. It means the risk position of a bank as depicted in the balance sheet doesn’t capture the changing reality and by the time the regulators, shareholders and investors know the reality it might be too late. A recent case of J P Morgan incurring a loss of $2 billion because of ‘error’ by the chief investment office is a pointer to the grim reality how fortunes of even mighty institutions can change overnight.   External regulation that can’t keep pace with these...

For years Gadens have had the lion's share of the action in the Australian Mortgage Fraud. It is a matter of public record that they have defended the perpetrators of Fraud, orchestrated the bullying and repeated efforts to intimidate blameless and innocent home owners and witnesses to the Court hearings all in the name of "Justice" - and been allowed to get away with it by some of the "bank blinded" Australian judiciary! If you'd like a few samples of Gadens' handiwork on behalf of NAB, Bank West, Ing and others use the BFCSA blog search engine or see austlii.edu.au Gadens aren't the only lawyers willing to do this type of work.  After all this BANK SCAM has been going on for years under the watchful eye of both major Australian Political Parties. All borrowers and BFCSA members should check their documentation and report in with a list of all legal...

0 0 0 Hold Corrupt Bankers Accountable for Fraud   BY OLIMPIA LEE   Target: European Parliament   Goal :  Hold corrupt bankers accountable for their fraudulent actions   Big banks have been caught rigging global interest rates and ripping millions of people off, but they still have not been held responsible. Now, the EU finance regulator is standing up to big banks and taking action to bring much-needed reform. Urge the EU to stand up to the powerful bank lobby and hold corrupt bankers accountable.   It is public knowledge that big banks such as Barclays have tweaked global interest rates to receive more money from people paying their mortgages, student loans and other debts. This behavior should be punishable by jail, but Barclays only got fined a small fraction of its profits due to the powerful bank lobby. Considering the waves of banking crises that continue to affect our economies and livelihoods, a...
