Banking branch restrictions
The Leader defends customers’ ability to move banks in response to restrictions on face-to-face services, while Senators argue that switching is difficult and banks have a responsibility to taxpayers.
I do not think they realise that many people in the population do not have computers or iPhones. I suggest that the banks do not want to serve people or speak to people anymore. It is an absolute disgrace.

Senators may be sure that other banks will follow. People have the remedy themselves. If their bank plans to do this and they are not happy with it, they can move to another bank.

I do not have Internet banking. I should probably have it. I still like to go to the bank and do my business there by speaking to a person on the other side of the counter.

The Leader can always talk to the Chief Whip.

They can give out to me if they wish. Of course, I meet my constituents as well.
