Banking profits and political critique in a flood of figures
The piece argues that Commonwealth Bank profits are overstated and tied to a political agenda. It explains banking margins, investor returns, and governance versus directorships, warning that treasury influence could turn the bank into a political instrument. It cites profits, interest rates, and bank management mechanics to challenge claims of excessive gains.
