Have you ever been affected by the corrupt behavior of the Corporate World?

Here in Australia there is a Royal Commission into the Big Banks and their misconduct. Including Financiers, Insurance Agencies and the like.
They have been found to be totally corrupt, stealing from their customers et al.
So all these years they have continued to make billions of dollars profits because they were stealing from the public.
What will happen? They may be required to pay a pittance of a fine and to refund customers.
What should happen?
Considering the obscene "Ill gained Profits" over many years, the fines should be in the Billions, All the Management and advisors should be imprisoned for a minimum of 10 years.
Their assets should be stripped and given to those whom went bankrupt because of their disgusting advice.
My Father worked for the same mining company his whole working life. Over 50 years. He was also insured with AMP for the last 40 of those years.
AMP, being the great "Peoples Company", as a good will gesture made my Father a life member of the fund.
The benefit of this action was that he no longer had to make any contributions.
This was stipulated by them.
When my Father died in 1985, "The Peoples Company" refused to pay out his insurance policy.
The reason?
"Mr Gerr... did not contribute to the fund for the previous two years and as a result his policy was cancelled."
It went to court and you guessed it. AMP won the case.
So, the "Peoples Company" rewarded my Fathers lifetime membership by keeping his entitled
payout.
People say the Law is an ass, I say the Law is corrupted, along with the Judges and the Politicians that put them there.

so the lying mother fuckers told your dad the policy would be good and he did not have to make payments to keep in force, then after he died they said it was no longer in force because he followed their contract saying he no longer had to make payments to keep it in force? then the lying judge agreed with them even though contract law is very clear they have to honor the policy?? time to take a lot of guns and grenades. kill the lying judge and his whore and his entire family and all of his relatives. then kill the entire upper management and the owners of the insurance company to set things right. rape and kill their families too. thats how you make things right. then take their 500 foot yachts and fleets of rolles rocyes and private planes as payment for your dad. that is how you deal with capitalist pig exploiters of the working class.

@trackboy Yes! Someone who thinks like I do. Those thoughts go through my head every other day. When I deal with a corrupted system I want to do exactly that.
Blow the whole fucking lot of them away. Scum that they are.
Make an example of some of them, have them drawn and quartered and hung from the flag pole at Parliament house.

@Gusman the 3 ring circus tent oh I mean Parliament House, should be made into the gallows to hang these crooks. Hearing the stories of people getting fucked over by these lying greedy dogs, fills me up with rage. 😡😡😡😡😡
If you or I did what they did there’d be no royal commission.. straight up incarceration

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I read a Document from an Asian investment Company.
It spoke quite openly about the influence it had with Australian Politicians regarding Policy Influence.
They would lobby, and shower with gifts, Pollies to get the policy to be of benefit to the Asian Company.
I wrote to Government querying this statement. I actually got a response and the response was, This is common Practice. Without Foreign Investment Australia would stagnate.
Drain the billabong

@Gusman once the Americans Sod off out of Korea I may think to go back
Gusman · 61-69, M
@Sueisright Sorry, but with over 20,000 US troops there, and with them being so well integrated, I fear they will never leave.

Unfortunately I have the same opinion but live in hope

Our justice system is enough of a joke as it is, and good to see Australia starting to wake up to the corrupt capitalism that’s been robbing the Aussie folk like you and me, I hope we end up like Iceland, and you know what they did during the GFC, bailed out the people and arrested the bankers when they tried to take the money and run. If the same happens here then I can restore my faith back into this dry red land. Malcom Turdball was a banker once too. Bankers are the most corrupt pieces of shit to stain this planet, time to flush them out of here.

All countries governments,laws and court systems are corrupt to protect the rich and make them richer and keep the average person poor
Gusman · 61-69, M
@Sueisright Yes, we, the "Working Poor" are a necessary evil.
Even so, they have manged to stop wage growth, Australian's pay, as a whole have not been keeping up with inflation. And still everything rises in price.
Sueisright · 31-35, F
That’s the same here minimum wage is 7.50 I think there abouts anyway I earnt more that as a waitress in summer holidays when I was in school years.
Only German worse but most of Europe minimum wage is around 11 Euro.
Germany is bad as they exploit the immigrants worse than any as they made something called mini jobs out there and genuinely there are people working 3 or 4 jobs and still earning less that 1 full job but there working 14 15 hours a day

@Sueisright Corrupt, let's blow them all up, Yeah

That's awful !
Only way to hurt these mf's is to ruin their reputation and dump their stock value.
You may not get back what is rightfully owed but you might get others to think carefully before they think to invest.
Our banks had their wrist slapped after the mis-selling mess of '08 nearly bankrupted the country and sent us into economic meltdown !
Yet the current government is fouling this leaving the EU business so badly, you can hear the banks slobbering at the thought of having the exact same conditions reoccurring as the government wants investment once we leave.
Not good when those with power have no fear of comeuppance.

How in the hell are you ever going to be able to know where best to invest your money ?
Sueisright · 31-35, F
Buy a safe hide it well at least it won’t go down in value unlike too many investments or buy gold as at least gold although fluctuates it dosent become valueless
Gusman · 61-69, M
@Sueisright Best way to preserve the value of your money is to buy Postage Stamps.
They are always worth their face value. No interest paid. but no devaluation either
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
@Gusman Folk who worked for BHS/MFI/Woolworths/Comet/K-Mart/MG-Rover/Enron etc
