MOTIONS › Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry
Senator GEORGIOU (Western Australia) (12:20): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator GEORGIOU: One Nation supports this motion, and I would refer to my speech to the chamber yesterday demanding that the current royal commission be granted wider powers to investigate the actions of receivers and managers once appointed by the bank. With such ongoing admissions of wrongful practices by all concerned, the banks should be held liable to cover the royal commission costs of hearing in light of their collective disgraceful behaviour to their customers. The PRESIDENT: The question is that motion No. 920 be agreed to.
