And last one.
I can’t remember who mentioned it here but that no photo no account pissed me off in 2001.
I had just moved to Adelaide from Perth and was trying to get a Telstra account, I tell you what, it was like pulling teeth..
I went into one of their shops and they wanted photo ID, the problem was the last time I renewed my licence was in Perth and it wasn’t compulsary to have a photo taken at that time, that came in after I left the state..
But I went home and called their head office and had the phone put on the very next day without any ID, the people in the shop treated me so badly that head office was disgusted in them and put the phone on for me, I always wondered if they got the sack LOL

@Joe Bogan, I don’t walk around with my eyes closed but respect for the warnings.
Iv’e been on a disability pension for about 15 years now, Rheumatoid arthritis started to raise it’s ugly head back then, well just arthritis to start with. That started in my ankles, both at the same time, I had large Haglund’s Deformitys on both my heels, I had surgery on one which made it worse so I refused surgery on the other. They are still there to this day and they hurt all the time. Next came Tendonitis and Bursitis in my left shoulder, I had an operation to fix the tendon but within 6 months it snapped so I refused another operation there, so suffice to say that shoulder hurts all the time and I can’t lift that arm past half way up..
Then my knees went, they hurt the worst, I need a knee transplant but i’m refusing it, i’ll live with all of this pain i’m in and smile because i’m alive..
So where was I LOL.
Oh, i’m on a pension, it’s not bad money for someone that can’t do a thing to help society, I live quite comfortably on it, I still get my treats and I eat well, so no one is taking any money from my bank account or I would notice..
Someone did try a few years ago, some dude in England tried to buy $300 worth of fake viagra, luckily I check my bank twice a day and caught it, my bank refunded it two days later, the whole lot..
So i’m not so worried about losing money, maybe if I was rich like my ex husband, I might worry, the only money he loses is when I ask him to buy me a new car and a few other expensive things, he complains but he always does it LOL
Anyway, sorry this was a rant, good luck but stop being so paranoid, relax for a while, unclench a little or a decent life might pass you by!!

@Danny, no no no no no, i’m not searching any quack on Youtube or whatever platform they are on.
Like I said, my ailments are due to my own stupidity, like smoking heavily, and drinking like a fish, mind you I did stop drinking on the 1st January 2003 around 1am, haven’t touched a drop since. I don’t know why I did that but I did, my partner did the same about 10 years ago, he was a heavy drinker and one day stopped, no doctors told us too, no tv show or Youtube video said we should, we just did.
So I think i’ll just stick around until it’s my time to go and have no regrets, and if there is such a place called Heaven, I might just see my beloved son again!

It is happening and slowly so you don’t notice your health going backwards, your finances drying up, your job opportunities evaporating, your freedom and liberty being strangled, it goes slowly so that new generations don’t notice and think it’s all normal, but it sped up with the injections campaign.
The split of the CBA, into CBA and RBA, was initiated under Menzies !!!
Only right now is the crooked current treasurer planning to cut the RBA loose and give it full independence. He wants to hand the leash over to Switzerland and Globalists. Another way of looking at it, he doesn’t want to do his job. Q. Why doesn’t he just quit his job, why does he have to destroy the country ? A. He is owned by Globalist interests.

Alison said – “The likes of honest men and women fighting for this bank deserve the support they request of us.”
Certainly we should be pushing to bring the Australian People’s Bank back into reality, and the proposed Australia Post Bank would be a perfect fit from just about every angle, most especially giving all Australians a safe alternative to the utterly sold-out predatory Globalist-owned commercial banks.
However, expect fierce opposition and comprehensive roadblocks from the commercial bank lobby and from the entire political class, which as you no doubt understand are owned and controlled by the same foreign Globalist shareholders as the commercial banking industry. They ALL work for the SAME foreign corporate masters, who just happen to want us all enslaved and dead.
And FWIW, here’s a little fly in the ointment – if an Australia Post Bank is owned by our fake corporate “government”, doesn’t that put us right back where we started? How will that safeguard us from their owners, the fake corporate “government”, deciding to ban cash, enforce CBDCs and require integration of EVERYTHING into the fake corporate “government’s” Trusted Digital identity? Instead of the commercial banks acting as carnivorous proxies for the fake corporate “government”, now the fake corporate “government” will be able to DIRECTLY implement these plans on anyone who has shifted their money and accounts to the Australia Post Bank.
It’s really looking like the only way to defeat the Globalist takeover is to START by REMOVING the fake foreign owned COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CORPORATION together with its myriad corporate subsidiaries, and replacing it with a REAL government elected BY the Australian people FOR the Australian people. And that single task will literally be as difficult as we COLLECTIVELY choose to make it.
IMO, hope for the best, and work relentlessly towards it, but always be prepared for the worst.

Deni said – “When is all this supposed to happen?”
Hate to be a wet rag, Deni, but if you open your eyes you might discern that it’s happening RIGHT NOW.
Anyone who decides to just sit tight and hope that everything’s fine, is going to be BLINDSIDED when the banks all BAIL IN and STEAL all their money.
They’re ALREADY REFUSING to let people withdraw their own money or transfer their money out of their bank accounts or spend it on anything over a certain sum. Let’s emphasize again, Deni, this is happening RIGHT NOW. They’re already FREEZING accounts and STEALING people’s money.
The banks already OWN all the money in ALL of their customers’ accounts, including SAVINGS accounts. It’s ALL classified as UNSECURED INVESTMENTS, thanks to serial child-trafficking paedophile and pathologic embezzler Scotty from Marketing who pushed the legislation through when no-one was watching way back in 2018.
The banks can LEGALLY SIEZE all of your money RIGHT NOW – and they WILL. And they are ALREADY forcing their customers to cough up all the personal info including Driver’s License needed for the fake corporate “government’s” universal Digital ID and the all-powerful Central Bank Digital Currency. If you don’t comply, then they LOCK YOUR ACCOUNTS and TAKE YOUR MONEY.
It’s happening RIGHT NOW, Deni.
The SOLUTION is to NOT COMPLY, to TAKE all your cash back off them and CLOSE all your accounts with the big commercial banks and WALK AWAY from them.
People are free to walk into the cage the Globalists are preparing for them. You know, like the cat carrier you take Kitty to the vet in to get euthanised? Apparently a great many people are happy to do so.

The Global Elite have been plotting to kill us off since day dot, but it hasn’t happened and i’m not holding my breath waiting for “IT” to happen.
I’m an old-ish woman now, not in the best of health mostly due to my own fault of ignoring doctors advice, if I had followed their advice to a tee i’d still be pretty healthy, body wise and mental health wise, but hey, I have no regrets, if I get another 10 or 20 years i’ll be happy.

Australia pays $2.5 million per hour in interest to the Jewish owned RBA parasite which produces nothing but numbers called dollars as an interest bearing debt. The Labor party pretends that it has “balanced the budget” and is “getting inflation under control”. Inflation will never be under control until Australia restores the governments original Commonwealth Bank which traitors in politics sold to foreign interests in the United States.
Trillion-dollar debt delayed but interest bill accelerates to $2.5m an hour
By Shane Wright and David Crowe
May 4, 2023 — 10.30pm
The federal government has delayed the point at which its total debt exceeds $1 trillion as it comes within sight of balancing the budget this year on the strength of unexpectedly high commodity prices and record numbers of people in work.
Despite the rapid improvement in the budget bottom line, taxpayers will spend more than $110 billion over the next five years paying the interest bill on government debt, a bill larger than family tax benefits or childcare subsidies…………”
The Commonwealth Bank was the People’s Bank until they got sold off by the fake corporate “government” for a one-off windfall cash injection to the fake “government”. A despicable act of asset stripping the Australian people.
Now we’ve come full circle, to the proposed Australia Post Bank resuming the mantle of the ESSENTIAL long-lost facility of a People’s Bank, providing the most basic and necessary IMPARTIAL facilities of cash management, transacting and safe storage for the common folk everywhere across our island continent.
Our treasonous sold-out Globalist-owned fake corporate “government” will do whatever it takes to kill that baby in the womb, so don’t hold your breath, folks, unless you want to be asphyxiated.
It’s a SUPERB idea, already manifested to a certain extent by the Post Office role in conducting cash deposits and withdrawals on behalf of private banks (INCLUDING all those MUTUAL banks owned by their customers instead of mass-murdering foreign Globalists).
But a full-fledged Australia Post Bank is only going to happen over the dead bodies of the baby-eating traitors hell-bent on Australia’s destruction and deliverance to their Luciferian Globalist masters. FWIW, I can work with that.

The winds of change are blowing
The election of 2022 saw the ouster of the bankers’ puppet Scott Morrison. New elements have emerged on the political landscape and there’s a sense that the old, outdated, neoliberal economic ideas have been discredited. History has its ebbs and flows, and every once in a great while, an opportunity to bring about a great change comes to the fore.
We are now in such a period.
Support for the public post office bank
For more than a decade, numerous organisations and experts have called for an Australian public post office bank to provide a secure alternative to the private banking system.
In 2020, the Labor Party-affiliated think tank Per Capita published an excellent report, “PostBank: Filling a Void, Securing Essential Services,” calling for the creation of a post office bank.
In 2021, the Senate committee which inquired into the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of Christine Holgate as CEO of Australia Post published its final report. That report closely echoes many of the demands that the Citizens Party had made prior to the Senate investigation.
Here is the text of Recommendation #14 from the report:
“The committee recommends that the Australian Government consider requiring authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) to allow Australia Post to process basic banking transactions for their customers as a condition of their license; and that fees be levied on ADIs that are sufficient to cover the cost to post offices of providing this service.”
It is a short jump from this recommendation to a full-fledged post office bank.
On 26 April 2022, the Licensed Post Office Group (LPOG), which represents the interests of Australia’s almost 3,000 small business post office licensees, issued a statement entitled, “Protect the future of community post offices.” The final point of their release is a call to “establish a postal bank” to service small and medium-sized enterprises and “help sustain the network and fund infrastructure.”
The Citizens Party has received direct feedback from senior politicians in the Labor Party, Liberal Party, National Party, the Greens, Katter’s Australian Party, and One Nation, that they support a postal bank.
New legislation drafted—Commonwealth Postal Savings Bank
The Citizens Party has drafted legislation, called the Commonwealth Postal Savings Bank Bill, for introduction into Parliament in the near future, as part of a national banking system that includes a national infrastructure bank.
Why a public post office bank is urgently needed
Australians and the Australian economy are straining under the yoke of a private banking oligopoly which:
starves small businesses and industry of credit while concentrating its lending in the housing bubble that prices young families out of buying an affordable home;
maximises profits by preying on bank customers to extract wealth through asset-stripping;
withdraws banking services from whole communities through aggressive branch closures to maximise its profits;
denies banking services to anyone it doesn’t like, especially small businesses that are competitors to the banking system, making it impossible for them to function in the economy;
is pushing to eliminate cash entirely, in order to lock Australians into banks and force us to transact electronically so the banks can trace our economic activities; and
corrupts the political system through its enormous lobbying power, enabling it to always block any attempt to seriously reform the banking system.
The very best way to rein in this corrupt banking power is to re-establish a public alternative, which Australia has not had since Paul Keating and John Howard privatised the Commonwealth Bank, completed in 1996. The Citizens Party’s proposed Commonwealth Postal Savings Bank will force the banks to compete on retail services and restore banking services to every community in Australia.
How a public post office bank could work
The Citizens Party’s legislation would establish a public post office bank as a separate public entity to Australia Post, but which would trade through Australia Post offices.
Rather than Australia Post having its own banking license, the post offices would be agents for the public post office bank just as they are now for private banks, but on more beneficial, customised terms for the post offices as the new bank is designed for the Australia Post branch network.
This model would be very similar to the way post offices were the first branches of the original Commonwealth Bank when it started in 1912, but it would be permanent. The model would both ensure banking services to all communities, and secure the ongoing economic viability of Australia Post’s branch network.
What a public post office bank would do
The public post office bank would be a basic savings and loans bank. As it is owned by the government, deposits in the bank will be fully government-guaranteed (not just up to the $250,000 limit that the government’s Financial Claims Scheme covers in the private banks). That means the post office bank would not default on deposits, nor would deposits be in danger of “bail-in”.
The postal bank would make loans to individuals and businesses in the community, assessed on their merits based on good lending standards, but not assessed on whether they maximise the bank’s profit, which is the culture that has motivated private banks to chase reckless mortgage lending.
The postal bank would not engage in derivatives trading or other forms of speculation.
Moreover, the Citizens Party proposes that the public post office bank would operate in tandem with a national development and infrastructure bank, where surplus funds are invested in the development of infrastructure and industries that Australia needs for productive economic growth and prosperity. The postal bank would invest any surplus funds in the development bank, which investment would also be fully government guaranteed. Australians who deposit their savings in the post office bank would therefore know that not only are their savings safe, but they are being used for the economic development of Australia.
As a public bank, other benefits include:
reliable branch services, compared with the private banks which regularly close branches to maximise their profits (while taking advantage of the fact that Australia Post branches provide retail banking services to their customers—effectively sponging off the taxpayers);
no discrimination—as a public institution, the postal bank would not be allowed to discriminate against particular businesses or individuals, which means no lawful customer would ever be “de-banked”.
maintain a cash payments system, unlike the private banks which are trying to phase out cash to trap people inside the banking system.
Reviving the Australian economy starts with reforming the financial system, which is why the Citizens Party is fighting against bad policies like the cash ban, de-banking and bail-in, and for solutions like a public post office bank and a national development bank.

Joe Bogan @According to commenter Pat from Vic:
“If banking is required, open accounts with MUTUAL banks – that’s CUSTOMER OWNED banks…”
Australia also needs a public post office bank.
Licensed Post Office Group (LPOG) represents the interests of Australia’s almost 3,000 small business post office licensees and they are seeking the establishment of a Postal Bank, to service SMEs and help sustain the network and fund infrastructure, from the federal government and Australia Post Board. With 4,320 post offices making up the Australia Post network, the capacity to provide face-to-face public banking service around Australia is already in place. Utilise this network of Australia Post offices.
What can we do. ACP is encouraging all concerned Australians to push a public post office bank onto the parliamentary action-list by contacting their elected representatives in federal and state parliaments to tell them to support a public post office bank.
No longer should Australians accept the status quo of Banking Overlords cutting off our means to live in a prosperous and self-sufficient Australia. Taking back our country now, with support since 2020 for a postal bank coming from senior politicians in the Labor Party, Liberal Party, National Party, the Greens, Katter’s Australian Party and One Nation, will help release our farmers from greedy competitors, and small businesses from dying out, currently now unprotected from ruthless foreign companies stealing Australian’s jobs.
A public post office bank will help keep money here in Australia working for the benefit of all Australians. If 23,000 submissions can be sent to Parliament to stop the proposed Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023, then I reckon Australians can raise that figure to save our financial future.

I’ve been banking with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia for over 50 years – that’s HALF A CENTURY, folks.
From all the way back when the Commonwealth Bank was the People’s Bank, right through to when the fake corporate “government” sold it all off and it became just another greedy bank.
And then they tried to pull this shit on me – “Give us all your detailed personal info and Photo ID to satisfy the fake “government’s” Know Your Customer policy or we’ll LOCK ALL YOUR ACCOUNTS”.
See how they try to use the fake corporate “government’s” completely arbitrary BS fake “laws” to LEGITIMISE their Globalist extortion racket and SCARE us all into submission? And they’re ALL working together IN LOCKSTEP with the dictates of their FOREIGN GLOBALIST OWNERS. OPEN YOUR EYES, folks – any money held in their accounts is THEIR money, NOT yours. Serial baby-trafficking paedophile and pathologic embezzler Scotty from Marketing made that LEGAL way back in 2018, and now the “Big Four” are moving IN UNISON to let us know that THEY CALL THE SHOTS.
So I closed my Commonwealth Bank accounts. All of them.
Good luck with your “Know Your Customer” policy, because I’m NOT your customer. Never will be ever again. Nor any of your BS disguised subsidiary commercial bank brands.
ALL of the so called “Big Four” commercial banks and ALL of their BS subsidiaries can take their LOCKSTEP totalitarian Globalist cashless social-credit CBDC Digital ID “Know Your Customer” camel shit and SHOVE IT UP THEIR FESTERING LUCIFERIAN RECTUMS.
And you just KNOW that they will – because being the disgusting sold-out treasonous baby-eating Luciferian arseholes that they are, they really ENJOY that sort of thing.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has committed publicly to passing legislation that would implement all 51 of the recommendations of the Reserve Bank of Australia Review, including the first one which says “The government should remove the power of the Treasurer to overrule the RBA’s decisions.” This act of political treachery – if carried out – would surrender any shred of national sovereignty over monetary policy to the banksters.”

And don’t forget the Bail-In laws, folks – your money in ANY of their accounts is legally UNSECURED INVESTMENTS, and they can SIEZE all your money and KEEP IT to cover their business losses, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Our fake corporate “government” made all of THAT legal way back in 2018.
Wake up, folks.
When they FREEZE your accounts and take all your money and force you onto CBDCs and Digital IDs and have you at their complete mercy, don’t winge and say you weren’t warned and you didn’t know.

Alison said – “The likes of honest men and women fighting for this bank deserve the support they request of us.”
Certainly we should be pushing to bring the Australian People’s Bank back into reality, and the proposed Australia Post Bank would be a perfect fit from just about every angle, most especially giving all Australians a safe alternative to the utterly sold-out predatory Globalist-owned commercial banks.
However, expect fierce opposition and comprehensive roadblocks from the commercial bank lobby and from the entire political class, which as you no doubt understand are owned and controlled by the same foreign Globalist shareholders as the commercial banking industry. They ALL work for the SAME foreign corporate masters, who just happen to want us all enslaved and dead.
And FWIW, here’s a little fly in the ointment – if an Australia Post Bank is owned by our fake corporate “government”, doesn’t that put us right back where we started? How will that safeguard us from their owners, the fake corporate “government”, deciding to ban cash, enforce CBDCs and require integration of EVERYTHING into the fake corporate “government’s” Trusted Digital identity? Instead of the commercial banks acting as carnivorous proxies for the fake corporate “government”, now the fake corporate “government” will be able to DIRECTLY implement these plans on anyone who has shifted their money and accounts to the Australia Post Bank.
It’s really looking like the only way to defeat the Globalist takeover is to START by REMOVING the fake foreign owned COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CORPORATION together with its myriad corporate subsidiaries, and replacing it with a REAL government elected BY the Australian people FOR the Australian people. And that single task will literally be as difficult as we COLLECTIVELY choose to make it.
IMO, hope for the best, and work relentlessly towards it, but always be prepared for the worst.
Hi Pat from Vic
I reckon there is the power of truth on our side to get the public post office bank up and running. The likes of honest men and women fighting for this bank deserve the support they request of us.
Deni said – “When is all this supposed to happen?”
Hate to be a wet rag, Deni, but if you open your eyes you might discern that it’s happening RIGHT NOW.
Anyone who decides to just sit tight and hope that everything’s fine, is going to be BLINDSIDED when the banks all BAIL IN and STEAL all their money.
They’re ALREADY REFUSING to let people withdraw their own money or transfer their money out of their bank accounts or spend it on anything over a certain sum. Let’s emphasize again, Deni, this is happening RIGHT NOW. They’re already FREEZING accounts and STEALING people’s money.
The banks already OWN all the money in ALL of their customers’ accounts, including SAVINGS accounts. It’s ALL classified as UNSECURED INVESTMENTS, thanks to serial child-trafficking paedophile and pathologic embezzler Scotty from Marketing who pushed the legislation through when no-one was watching way back in 2018.
The banks can LEGALLY SIEZE all of your money RIGHT NOW – and they WILL. And they are ALREADY forcing their customers to cough up all the personal info including Driver’s License needed for the fake corporate “government’s” universal Digital ID and the all-powerful Central Bank Digital Currency. If you don’t comply, then they LOCK YOUR ACCOUNTS and TAKE YOUR MONEY.
It’s happening RIGHT NOW, Deni.
The SOLUTION is to NOT COMPLY, to TAKE all your cash back off them and CLOSE all your accounts with the big commercial banks and WALK AWAY from them.
People are free to walk into the cage the Globalists are preparing for them. You know, like the cat carrier you take Kitty to the vet in to get euthanised? Apparently a great many people are happy to do so.
Not this little black duck.
When is all this supposed to happen?
People have been going on about this kind of thing for years, more years than I can remember.
Not only this but many other made up stories have been told like lizard people taking over the world.
The Global Elite have been plotting to kill us off since day dot, but it hasn’t happened and i’m not holding my breath waiting for “IT” to happen.
I’m an old-ish woman now, not in the best of health mostly due to my own fault of ignoring doctors advice, if I had followed their advice to a tee i’d still be pretty healthy, body wise and mental health wise, but hey, I have no regrets, if I get another 10 or 20 years i’ll be happy.
So yes, to my original question, when is all of this supposed to happen?
Australia pays $2.5 million per hour in interest to the Jewish owned RBA parasite which produces nothing but numbers called dollars as an interest bearing debt. The Labor party pretends that it has “balanced the budget” and is “getting inflation under control”. Inflation will never be under control until Australia restores the governments original Commonwealth Bank which traitors in politics sold to foreign interests in the United States.
Trillion-dollar debt delayed but interest bill accelerates to $2.5m an hour
By Shane Wright and David Crowe
May 4, 2023 — 10.30pm
The federal government has delayed the point at which its total debt exceeds $1 trillion as it comes within sight of balancing the budget this year on the strength of unexpectedly high commodity prices and record numbers of people in work.
Despite the rapid improvement in the budget bottom line, taxpayers will spend more than $110 billion over the next five years paying the interest bill on government debt, a bill larger than family tax benefits or childcare subsidies…………”

Alison said – “The winds of change are blowing…”
The Commonwealth Bank was the People’s Bank until they got sold off by the fake corporate “government” for a one-off windfall cash injection to the fake “government”. A despicable act of asset stripping the Australian people.
Now we’ve come full circle, to the proposed Australia Post Bank resuming the mantle of the ESSENTIAL long-lost facility of a People’s Bank, providing the most basic and necessary IMPARTIAL facilities of cash management, transacting and safe storage for the common folk everywhere across our island continent.
Our treasonous sold-out Globalist-owned fake corporate “government” will do whatever it takes to kill that baby in the womb, so don’t hold your breath, folks, unless you want to be asphyxiated.
It’s a SUPERB idea, already manifested to a certain extent by the Post Office role in conducting cash deposits and withdrawals on behalf of private banks (INCLUDING all those MUTUAL banks owned by their customers instead of mass-murdering foreign Globalists).
But a full-fledged Australia Post Bank is only going to happen over the dead bodies of the baby-eating traitors hell-bent on Australia’s destruction and deliverance to their Luciferian Globalist masters. FWIW, I can work with that.
The winds of change are blowing
The election of 2022 saw the ouster of the bankers’ puppet Scott Morrison. New elements have emerged on the political landscape and there’s a sense that the old, outdated, neoliberal economic ideas have been discredited. History has its ebbs and flows, and every once in a great while, an opportunity to bring about a great change comes to the fore.
We are now in such a period.
Support for the public post office bank
For more than a decade, numerous organisations and experts have called for an Australian public post office bank to provide a secure alternative to the private banking system.
In 2020, the Labor Party-affiliated think tank Per Capita published an excellent report, “PostBank: Filling a Void, Securing Essential Services,” calling for the creation of a post office bank.
In 2021, the Senate committee which inquired into the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of Christine Holgate as CEO of Australia Post published its final report. That report closely echoes many of the demands that the Citizens Party had made prior to the Senate investigation.
Here is the text of Recommendation #14 from the report:
“The committee recommends that the Australian Government consider requiring authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) to allow Australia Post to process basic banking transactions for their customers as a condition of their license; and that fees be levied on ADIs that are sufficient to cover the cost to post offices of providing this service.”
It is a short jump from this recommendation to a full-fledged post office bank.
On 26 April 2022, the Licensed Post Office Group (LPOG), which represents the interests of Australia’s almost 3,000 small business post office licensees, issued a statement entitled, “Protect the future of community post offices.” The final point of their release is a call to “establish a postal bank” to service small and medium-sized enterprises and “help sustain the network and fund infrastructure.”
The Citizens Party has received direct feedback from senior politicians in the Labor Party, Liberal Party, National Party, the Greens, Katter’s Australian Party, and One Nation, that they support a postal bank.
New legislation drafted—Commonwealth Postal Savings Bank
The Citizens Party has drafted legislation, called the Commonwealth Postal Savings Bank Bill, for introduction into Parliament in the near future, as part of a national banking system that includes a national infrastructure bank.
Why a public post office bank is urgently needed
Australians and the Australian economy are straining under the yoke of a private banking oligopoly which:
starves small businesses and industry of credit while concentrating its lending in the housing bubble that prices young families out of buying an affordable home;
maximises profits by preying on bank customers to extract wealth through asset-stripping;
withdraws banking services from whole communities through aggressive branch closures to maximise its profits;
denies banking services to anyone it doesn’t like, especially small businesses that are competitors to the banking system, making it impossible for them to function in the economy;
is pushing to eliminate cash entirely, in order to lock Australians into banks and force us to transact electronically so the banks can trace our economic activities; and
corrupts the political system through its enormous lobbying power, enabling it to always block any attempt to seriously reform the banking system.
The very best way to rein in this corrupt banking power is to re-establish a public alternative, which Australia has not had since Paul Keating and John Howard privatised the Commonwealth Bank, completed in 1996. The Citizens Party’s proposed Commonwealth Postal Savings Bank will force the banks to compete on retail services and restore banking services to every community in Australia.
How a public post office bank could work
The Citizens Party’s legislation would establish a public post office bank as a separate public entity to Australia Post, but which would trade through Australia Post offices.
Rather than Australia Post having its own banking license, the post offices would be agents for the public post office bank just as they are now for private banks, but on more beneficial, customised terms for the post offices as the new bank is designed for the Australia Post branch network.
This model would be very similar to the way post offices were the first branches of the original Commonwealth Bank when it started in 1912, but it would be permanent. The model would both ensure banking services to all communities, and secure the ongoing economic viability of Australia Post’s branch network.
What a public post office bank would do
The public post office bank would be a basic savings and loans bank. As it is owned by the government, deposits in the bank will be fully government-guaranteed (not just up to the $250,000 limit that the government’s Financial Claims Scheme covers in the private banks). That means the post office bank would not default on deposits, nor would deposits be in danger of “bail-in”.
The postal bank would make loans to individuals and businesses in the community, assessed on their merits based on good lending standards, but not assessed on whether they maximise the bank’s profit, which is the culture that has motivated private banks to chase reckless mortgage lending.
The postal bank would not engage in derivatives trading or other forms of speculation.
Moreover, the Citizens Party proposes that the public post office bank would operate in tandem with a national development and infrastructure bank, where surplus funds are invested in the development of infrastructure and industries that Australia needs for productive economic growth and prosperity. The postal bank would invest any surplus funds in the development bank, which investment would also be fully government guaranteed. Australians who deposit their savings in the post office bank would therefore know that not only are their savings safe, but they are being used for the economic development of Australia.
As a public bank, other benefits include:
reliable branch services, compared with the private banks which regularly close branches to maximise their profits (while taking advantage of the fact that Australia Post branches provide retail banking services to their customers—effectively sponging off the taxpayers);
no discrimination—as a public institution, the postal bank would not be allowed to discriminate against particular businesses or individuals, which means no lawful customer would ever be “de-banked”.
maintain a cash payments system, unlike the private banks which are trying to phase out cash to trap people inside the banking system.
Reviving the Australian economy starts with reforming the financial system, which is why the Citizens Party is fighting against bad policies like the cash ban, de-banking and bail-in, and for solutions like a public post office bank and a national development bank.

Joe Bogan @According to commenter Pat from Vic:
“If banking is required, open accounts with MUTUAL banks – that’s CUSTOMER OWNED banks…”
Australia also needs a public post office bank.
Licensed Post Office Group (LPOG) represents the interests of Australia’s almost 3,000 small business post office licensees and they are seeking the establishment of a Postal Bank, to service SMEs and help sustain the network and fund infrastructure, from the federal government and Australia Post Board. With 4,320 post offices making up the Australia Post network, the capacity to provide face-to-face public banking service around Australia is already in place. Utilise this network of Australia Post offices.
What can we do. ACP is encouraging all concerned Australians to push a public post office bank onto the parliamentary action-list by contacting their elected representatives in federal and state parliaments to tell them to support a public post office bank.
No longer should Australians accept the status quo of Banking Overlords cutting off our means to live in a prosperous and self-sufficient Australia. Taking back our country now, with support since 2020 for a postal bank coming from senior politicians in the Labor Party, Liberal Party, National Party, the Greens, Katter’s Australian Party and One Nation, will help release our farmers from greedy competitors, and small businesses from dying out, currently now unprotected from ruthless foreign companies stealing Australian’s jobs.
A public post office bank will help keep money here in Australia working for the benefit of all Australians. If 23,000 submissions can be sent to Parliament to stop the proposed Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023, then I reckon Australians can raise that figure to save our financial future.
Alison said – “Banks are rogue and going more rogue – CBA pushing a ‘No Photo ID, No Account’.”
If you COMPLY with this BS dystopian tyranny, folks, then you DESERVE whatever happens to you. You STILL have a CHOICE, you can WALK AWAY from these baby-eating bastard mongrels, and if ENOUGH people used their F*CKING BRAINS and did exactly that, then the “Big Four” foreign owned Globalist banks and ALL THEIR DISGUISED SUBSIDIARY BRANDS would COLLAPSE.
I’ve been banking with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia for over 50 years – that’s HALF A CENTURY, folks.
From all the way back when the Commonwealth Bank was the People’s Bank, right through to when the fake corporate “government” sold it all off and it became just another greedy bank.
And then they tried to pull this shit on me – “Give us all your detailed personal info and Photo ID to satisfy the fake “government’s” Know Your Customer policy or we’ll LOCK ALL YOUR ACCOUNTS”.
See how they try to use the fake corporate “government’s” completely arbitrary BS fake “laws” to LEGITIMISE their Globalist extortion racket and SCARE us all into submission? And they’re ALL working together IN LOCKSTEP with the dictates of their FOREIGN GLOBALIST OWNERS. OPEN YOUR EYES, folks – any money held in their accounts is THEIR money, NOT yours. Serial baby-trafficking paedophile and pathologic embezzler Scotty from Marketing made that LEGAL way back in 2018, and now the “Big Four” are moving IN UNISON to let us know that THEY CALL THE SHOTS.
So I closed my Commonwealth Bank accounts. All of them.
Good luck with your “Know Your Customer” policy, because I’m NOT your customer. Never will be ever again. Nor any of your BS disguised subsidiary commercial bank brands.
ALL of the so called “Big Four” commercial banks and ALL of their BS subsidiaries can take their LOCKSTEP totalitarian Globalist cashless social-credit CBDC Digital ID “Know Your Customer” camel shit and SHOVE IT UP THEIR FESTERING LUCIFERIAN RECTUMS.
And you just KNOW that they will – because being the disgusting sold-out treasonous baby-eating Luciferian arseholes that they are, they really ENJOY that sort of thing.
Nab shares haven’t gone up in more than 20 years while CBA has gone up to triple or more – dividends go along with the price. Best bet would be if Nab shareholders cut their losses and get into something else.
According to commenter Pat from Vic:
“If banking is required, open accounts with MUTUAL banks – that’s CUSTOMER OWNED banks. There’s a raft of them in Australia, with Great Southern Bank and Qudos Bank being among the most recommended. They have all the regular online facilities, and they also allow DEPOSITING and WITHDRAWING cash from any Post Office”.
Good advice. Ed
Good point. Ed
Robbie Barwick steps up to the plate.
“The Labor government under Anthony Albanese and Jim Chalmers is about to commit the ultimate betrayal of the Australian people and our nation. We must do everything possible to stop it. The issue at hand is who is the real government – our elected representatives, or the private Money Power? Treasurer Jim Chalmers has committed publicly to passing legislation that would implement all 51 of the recommendations of the Reserve Bank of Australia Review, including the first one which says “The government should remove the power of the Treasurer to overrule the RBA’s decisions.” This act of political treachery – if carried out – would surrender any shred of national sovereignty over monetary policy to the banksters.”

Banks are rogue and going more rogue – CBA pushing a ‘No Photo ID, No Account’. A customer was locked out of his account because his CBA Debit Card with a chip accessing the Worldwide payments network was not considered identification. The bank wanted photo ID on behalf of the Australian Government Corporation. When the customer finally suggested “What if I upload this onto social media” the situation changed.

Who the hell goes on FAKEBOOK anyhooos…. what a shit platform… FAKEBOOK is yesterdays rubbish controlled and used by woke idiots and the alphabet crowd. Stop using FAKEBOOK and watch all the fake woke so called friends peel away like a snake skin. I witnessed it personally and I don’t miss FAKEBOOK OR THOSE SO CALLED FRIENDS.
The National bank can go screw itself… these woke MORONS should crawl back into the SEWER they came out of.
Well , of course, this vampyre bank is going to cancel your card if your social media violates its United [Communist] Nations ESG and DEI correctness along political, covid and environmental party lines.
The only way to end banking bastardry in this country is to remove the military grade weapons system that enables it – namely the cell towers.
I already experienced this with ANZ bank few Month ago, when I tried to withdraw some cash through ATM. Message came back saying, this account is suspended and card retained. It took me 1 Month talking to machines to get replacement card, and when it arrived the pin didn’t work. Luckily I was stocked up on petrol, food and cash and survived.
Yestotruth said – “Who gave the banks permission to act as adjudicator on all these social platforms & on what & whose authority?”
Dude, you’re asking the wrong question, and they DO NOT give a rat’s arse.
That’s a bit like standing there demanding to know who gave the axe-wielding honicidal maniac the right to threaten you with his axe.
The right question is – “How do I get all my money away from these bastards before they FREEZE my accounts and SIEZE all of it?”
betty mac said – “Isn’t that illegal?”
Define “illegal”.
They do whatever they think they can get away with, because there’s no-one to stop them or hold them accountable.
If there are no consequences, then there’s no downside for them. Our fake corporate “governments’ and fake corporate “judiciary” and all the armies of shit-for-brains hired mercenaries impersonating “police” are all owned by the same foreign Globalist cabal as all the commercial banks, so they’re all on the same side.
And they never back down, they only ever double down.
So best for everyone to get all their money out of these mongrels’ clutches before they double down again.
To Pat from Vic…I remember when Morrison, the cunning b#astard did that.It was a Friday night when all others had gone home.
Bail-in is lying there in limbo just waiting for them to say Go…it will be an overnight job, we will have no warning.
Also, I would like to know how the banks know who we are on Facebook….have the admin on FB handed over our details?
Isn’t that illegal?
How can they do that to me and millions of others when we don’t use our real names on Facebook?
I’m not on Facebook any longer so won’t have that particular problem but the big banks are a problem
I worked for NAB for 5 years. They treat their customers like a parasite treats its host. Unsurprisingly they treat their low level staff the same way and bully and victimise staff. Believe me their Management would have no compunction in screwing over their customers and not blinking an eyelid as they chew on their Wagyu steak and drink their Penfolds Grange. My advice? Close your NAB account and find a good member-owned Credit Union which is NOT aligned to the Globalist agendas (ie: read their mission statement carefully before signing up). My 2c.
Who gave the banks permission to act as adjudicator on all these social platforms & on what & whose authority? Surely banks have enough on their plate already as in ripping people off via interest rates & fees alone & not to mention closing down of rural banks throughout the country.So with their increased profit they can now afford to put in place software technologies that can track every clients private social life comments. I just wonder if I go out & paint the town red I’d be arrested,however if I paint the town in rainbow colours I’d get a pat on the back.

Not just NAB, folks.
ALL the big banks, ALL of the “Big Four” – ANZ, Commonwealth, NAB & Westpac – and all of their variously branded subsidiary commercial banks.
These are all FOREIGN OWNED banks, folks, owned in the main by the Globalist cartel of Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street. That’s the mass-murdering baby-eating Globalist psychopaths that want us all DEAD, just in case you were wondering.
They’re ALL marching in LOCKSTEP with our fake Globalist-owned corporate “governments” to strip our assets and our freedom and grind us all down into the gutter, where we’ll “own nothing and be happy”.
You don’t need to have detailed insider knowledge to SEE what’s going down. Try withdrawing $10,000 cash from ANY of them and see what happens. Try buying $10,000 worth of silver bullion online and see what happens.
And don’t forget the Bail-In laws, folks – your money in ANY of their accounts is legally UNSECURED INVESTMENTS, and they can SIEZE all your money and KEEP IT to cover their business losses, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Our fake corporate “government” made all of THAT legal way back in 2018.
Wake up, folks.
When they FREEZE your accounts and take all your money and force you onto CBDCs and Digital IDs and have you at their complete mercy, don’t winge and say you weren’t warned and you didn’t know.
If you DON’T shut down all your accounts with these bastards and take all your money back while you STILL CAN, then you only have YOURSELF to blame.
