    The real issue isn't the banksters. We all know that the fiscally iliterate planners are lying thieving muppets who are there to spread the clients checks and lubricate so the bank can drive its product home.

    The real issue is the mindset of the clients who when they go into these muppets, they deposit their cranium at the front desk in the expectation that the messiah is going to lead them to the land of milk and honey.

    The vast majority of the population refuse to be masters of their own destiny. They reap what they have sewn.

    Had a bit of a chuckle watching it when they showed the ASIC dorks clueless expressions and the Senators comment about the CBA shit kickers term inappropriate. Nothing will change the sheeple will be herded into nice safe bank products that will bleed them.

    The definition of stupid is the "average" person keeps doing the same thing and expects a different outcome.

    It always amazes me that people who have worked for so long are prepared to give their hard earned $$$ to the so called experts.

    They should have more confidence in their own judgement because that is how they got their nest egg in the first place.

    Money moving money around, it's the biggest game in town until WALL ST GOES DOWN , then you are the biggest looser in town, then you hold out your hand and here comes centerlink handing money around.

    ASIC exists to allow businesses like CBA to hide behind the letter of the law (which they helped write) while acting immorally.

    Hmm - I have a FB account, but didn't need to login to see the page/comments :/ Here are a few:

    Lots of links to the ABC / 4 Corners documentary

    CBA: Has Adam just scored Candice's number or is he using the CommBank app to pay her back for the lunch she just shouted? [photo of guy and girl looking at their phones]
    Comment - He's a CBA financial planner trying to steal her lunch money.

    CBA: Fast track your savings efforts with these handy CommBank app tips:
    Comment - It tracks how much money they have stolen from you.

    CBA: The colder months are when a summer getaway becomes all the more appealing. Start preparing sooner to keep your travel costs down: [photo of Pacific island resort]
    Comment - A picture of where commonwealth financial counsellors go when they have made off with all your money.

    Lots of similar comments!
