Yes, I have to say the fact this “Brian Mc” guy seems to have created his Twitter account just for his petition should raise some alarm bells. Only made his first tweet on March 5 and presumably, has been waiting for mainstream media outlets to bite.
Hopefully the ABC’s Media Watch program is planning a decent investigation for this one.
Focus groups / research panels must be telling them the opposite, as since the feds changed rules allowing credit unions to call themselves banks a couple years ago almost every single credit union in the country has since rebranded or is planning to rebrand as a bank.
Example: Queensland Country Credit Union (big sponsor of NRL in Queensland) became Queensland Country Bank before it signed a naming rights deal with Townsville’s North Queensland Stadium.
Is Credit Union a naughty phrase? Legally and technically that’s what they still are! I’d think you wouldn’t want any association with the term bank, thanks to the actions of the Big 4.
Looks like I was wrong - today’s Tele did have a a Easter Show liftout - all 8 pages of it. Not as in depth as previous years. Seemingly paid for by the Greyhound as Pets campaign.
