		<description><![CDATA[It is true that Australia’s banks came through the GFC relatively unscathed. Principally, this was as a result of the regulatory system and political policies that Australia has in place. But our banks and finance industry should not be allowed to simply push aside the GFC as a bad memory and return to practices that [...]]]></description>
