Kevin Hague Spent an interesting morning subbing for Russel on the banking inquiry (called by Greens, Labour and Progressives because the Govt refused a Select Committee inquiry into why Reserve Bank cuts to the OCR haven't been passed on into short term interest rates by the major banks). The big 4 Aussie-owned banks haven't taken part, but many others (both organisations and individuals have). Will blog on frogblog.
