Gutless Labor does nothing while banks gorge on pensions


When is Federal Labor going to show some guts, and prevent the banks from charging impoverished pensioners $30 - 40 when their pension comes in too late to cover a direct debit of $10?

If nothing else, DH hopes that you will never look at a certain bank's logo in quite the same way again. Once again, they've taken $30 out of the miserable $120 a week she has to live on after rent, because her $40 quarterly insurance was taken out on midnight of the night she only had left $20 in her account.

This is the reason I left Commonwealth. I went to CUA but they charge usage fees so I am moving to ING.

I'm in ING now they gave me $20 when I put a deosit in. You need to have a mobile phone to join but you get a debit card. For mobile I bought a cheap phone on ebay and use virgin prepaid with bean counter - $10/month. For internet, I'm still with Telstra but moving to iinet or engin to use voip phone - free calls.
