It is refreshing to hear that the former Queensland Premier is looking after the banks.

What else can a former Premier do? They can write a huge autobiography and praise themselves for everything that ever happened as Bob Carr did. Or just get on with the job of pretending to be mighty and powerful. And what could be more mighty and powerful than working for the banks? The banks are the top dogs in this country. They’re unassailable. They govern the most precious commodity this country has to offer. Yes Folks. That’s Real Estate. They’re so top there’s nothing anyone can do about it. They’re beyond reproach. And as has been said by God himself; ‘They’re just too big to fail”. Banks are visionary, imaginative and the principle drivers of the ‘innovation boom’ and the ‘thought bubble’ in its entirety.

Former NSW premier Bob Carr admires himself.

When Government looks to leadership and vision the banks are there. And they’re the best banks in the world, and arguably represent the best banking system ever. Some, (and we have this on good authority) are cutting credit card fees by a huge one percent. How generous and public spirited is that?. A whole one percent. That’s a Rupert figure. What about the other 99%per cent you say? Don’t be greedy, as a reader of this blog you are the other ninety nine percent. We, represent the divine anointment of market based economies, it’s called the “ trickle down effect”. Get it!.

Whoops! Wrong Bligh.

The big thing is that the banks are really not interested in a Royal Commission. A Royal Commission would be no good for anyone, That’s why they’ve got Anna on board. She’s an ex Labor premier. Labor Premiers know all about working mums and dads. They represent the ordinary people. And we mean ORDINARY. After Campbell Newman, she looks like gold. There’s no one comes near her, unless of course Bob Carr was offered the job. Anna is absolutely reasonable. It’s not reasonable trying to get the banks to explain why they’ve made innocent retirees and the odd farmer stony broke. And there’s no point in putting the finger on some unprincipled, criminal, dishonest banking industry bastards. You see banks stick to principles. The biggest principle is the principle of winners and losers. For the banks to be successful there’s gotta be losers. And if someone gets shirty about losing the lot thanks to some dishonest illegal, criminal advice from a unprincipled banking executive it’s just they got caught on the ‘downside’. There’s an ‘upside’ though.

Steve Bracks. Doing it for the local car industry.

Anna knows a lot about banking, sent the people of Queensland broke. That was good for banks. Her accounting was so shithouse Campbell came in and sold off everything else. Campbell was really a new broom, he really cleaned things up. Anna will also make a clean sweep and she’ll reassure the public that Australian banks are the best, ‘most safest’ institutions in the world. In fact that banks are so heavily geared to housing as the expression goes, they’re ‘as safe as houses’. And the boom in real estate is eternal. And the banks have told the government not to change the iniquitous polices of negative gearing, tax write offs for the super rich and all the other shit the kleptocracy gets away with. Because pure and simply,’They Can’.

So shut up! leave the banks alone! They’re visionary. They’re agents of dynamic change and they’ve got things well and truly under control and their profits are stratospheric. As they say; ‘if it aint broke’. And Anna is so nice. She puts a face on banking you can trust. And she’s reassuring. That’s what the public needs someone familiar and in authority, (of a sort) to say: ‘There’s nothing to see here, move along, move along’. In banking that’s called, “ Public accountability”.

Makes good cents heh!
