Practical Bank Bill Test Sparks Debate in Canberra
The Canberra Times reports a test of the Bank Bill amendments as Government policy shifts aim to depoliticize bank control. The piece argues Treasury would dictate bank policy, limiting Governor independence, with Parliament unable to gauge differences behind closed doors. Critics warn the Governor’s role would become ceremonial while economic policy remains Treasury-driven. The Prime Minister’s broadcast is cited on exchange rates and tariff adjustments tied to imports, inflation, and the Geneva Agreement, urging a public demonstration of benefits from a more independent stance.
