Hunting the big banks

I often wonder how people think. Litigation funder IMF Australia Ltd is bankrolling a class action against Australia's major banks and half a million people barging and shoving to join the queue.

Do you think IMF is really doing it for you, helping the underdog?

Bugger me, they're in it for the money! A share of the proceeds, a cut of your damages. The only winner out of this.... the lawyers.

Say the action succeeds, how much do you think you'll get? $1k? If you're very lucky.

Now ask yourself how much did your superannuation fund loose from the scare we can do without?

Good Sunday to you, Young Werther.

Banks, like health insurance companies, are ONLY a business concerned with their own bottom line.
Customer care is an oxymoron.

Aurora, your so right there. But downunder, we've taken bank-bashing to a new level, it's become our national sport :)
