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.

All countries governments,laws and court systems are corrupt to protect the rich and make them richer and keep the average person poor

@Sueisright Look at roadside drug testing here in Australia, at least, the Police do not test for Cocaine because they have been instructed not to by the Politicians.
They know that a very high percentage of "High Flyers" do Cocaine regularly.
Can not have Judges being charged with illegal drugs in their system.
Pure Corruption

Here even basic things like roads are put right in rich areas but not poor,for instance there is a very very expensive public school not far from me they dug up the road 3 Times to make nice as each time they didn’t like how it looked.they built loveky wood bus shelters and reduced speed to 20 and numerous improvements on that piece of road ,the road by the normal schools are full of holes a post in the ground for the bus stops and no shelters and no extra speed reductions

@Sueisright They all move in a different world and I am sure they would rather there be no Working Classes or Welfare Recipients.
Sueisright · 31-35, F
Oh they would butbof course it’s the working class that pays for everything as the rich hide there’s well away and lay tiny amounts tax if any

@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.

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
