At the dramatic hearings of the Senate inquiry into bank closures in regional Australia in Queensland last week, more than half of the Senators present advocated for a public bank solution.
The campaign against bank branch closures, which achieved the establishment of the current Senate inquiry into bank closures in regional Australia, has had a major victory.
Due to high demand, the Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport (RARAT) Committee has extended the deadline for submissions to its inquiry into bank closures in regional Australia by a month, to 28 April.
