For the final time in Australia, I caught up with Robbie Barwick from the Citizens Party. We looked at the progress towards the establishment of a Public Bank in the light of recent failures, and the inquiry into Regional Banking.
Importantly, there are just two more weeks to get your submission to the Inquiry. Have your say! and support the transformational policy.
Make a submission to regional bank closures inquiry
Submissions to the inquiry are due by 31 March. All communities, organisations, businesses, and individuals impacted by the banks’ war on cash are strongly urged to make a submission, including to support a government post office bank.
A submission can be a formal representation from an organisation, or as simple as a letter or email, which explains to the Committee your experience and views.
Elderly and vulnerable regional bank customers, who are disproportionately affected, are especially encouraged to hand-write or type physical letters and mail them to the Committee through the post.
Mail your submission to the Committee at this address:
Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committees on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600
Email your submission to the Committee at rrat.sen@aph.gov.au
Upload your submission, and get more information, at the inquiry website
For more information, phone the Committee on 02 6277 3511.

The latest inflation data for the US underscored the ongoing inflation problem the FED has, and while the markets are hoping for a pause, or cut, on the latest numbers this is unlikely. The battle to control inflation is far from won.

The Federal Reserve’s War On Inflation Will Continue! [Podcast]
So once again the banks get a helping hand from the FED, and depositors in the US are guaranteed to an unlimited extent. But what of moral hazard?
And the markets now do not expect further rate rises, despite the inflation pressures in play. Yet perhaps there is a bifurcation between liquidity and rates, so perhaps the markets are not reading things right.
And once again the FED and Treasury proved Free Market Capitalism is dead!

In this week’s market update we look at the contention between the markets and Central Banks. The former is banking on cuts later this year, the latter focusing on inflation control, and the need for higher interest rates. Both cannot be true.
And results this past round suggest weakness ahead.

More analysts are now talking about mortgage stress. How ever you define the concept (we prefer cash flow metrics) things are getting worse. So ahead of our next batch of updates on Tuesday, we look at what some other analysts are saying.
Perhaps, better late than never they are now understanding things I have been highlighting for some long time!
