John MacKenzie chats with Michelle from the Speewah Tavern about the Queensland Emergency Management Levy, designed to cope with disaster-affected relief and support. Michelle argues that more should have been done in the wake of Cyclone Jasper's flood event, considering there is already a tax designed that funds such relief. The levy was introduced by former state premier, Anna Bligh, and according to their website the "Emergency Management Levy (EML) is applied to all Queensland property via council rates to ensure there is a sustainable funding base for fire and emergency services when Queenslanders are at risk during emergencies such as floods, cyclones, storms as well as fire and accidents."

Former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann has been charged with two counts of rape in relation to an incident alleged to have occurred after a night out in Queensland in October, 2021.   The ex-boyfriend of a young water polo coach found beaten to death at one of Sydney's top high school rang triple-0 himself and told them where to find her, four hours after police believe she was killed.  Annastacia Palaszczuk is no longer Queensland's preferred premier for the first time, and her performance rating is worse than Anna Bligh and Campbell Newman.  Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock says that record levels of immigration driving a surge in rental prices is adding to inflation as the central bank remains tight lipped on whether to deliver another rate hike next month. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Australian Citizens Party, which campaigned for the current Senate inquiry into bank closures in regional Australia, today slammed Anna Bligh and the Australian Banking Association's new branch closure protocol. The ABA and the banks are pulling a swifty, trying to pass off their branch closure protocol as the solution to branch closures, when the only thing it even attempts to solve is their bad PR. First of all, the branch closure protocol is not new—the ABA has had a branch closure protocol for 20 years, following a recommendation of an earlier parliamentary inquiry. Did the previous version of the protocol stop banks from closing branches? Of course not—the banks adopt these instruments of self-regulation to pull the wool over the politicians' eyes. The new version of the ABA's protocol is the same. It doesn't stop branch closures; it simply requires banks to ‘communicate' the closures better. This was one of the pathetic recommendations of the Regional Banking Taskforce. Whenever ‘better communication' is a recommendation from a government inquiry, it's simply a politician's cop-out. The Regional Banking Taskforce was the Coalition's pre-election stunt to make it appear that they were addressing this crisis of mass bank closures, but they stacked the taskforce—8 of the 11 members represented banks. No wonder it gave the banks the green light to accelerate their branch closures! The current Senate inquiry is proving that Anna Bligh's ABA was gaslighting the community about the reasons for branch closures, and that the banks are not justified in closing branches at all. Anna Bligh is all over Australia running the banks' line that customers are ‘overwhelmingly jumping into the opportunity of digital banking', BUT the Senate hearings and an examination of the ABA's and banks' statistics tell a very different story. The Finance Sector Union testified on behalf of bank staff at the hearing in Sale in Victoria in March that the banks are putting their staff under intense pressure to sign up all of their customers to online banking. The staff report they aren't allowed to mark on the customers' record if they decline, so the customers who don't wish to bank online get asked repeatedly—actually harassed! And NAB's figures prove that the banks are only interested in meeting targets, not whether their customers are comfortable with their banking options. NAB's fact sheets for closed branches show they close the branch when around 90 per cent of customers are ‘registered' to bank online, even though, by NAB's own figures, only a quarter of them are regular online users. Meanwhile, Anna Bligh's ABA has started producing meaningless statistics that show only 1 per cent of bank ‘interactions' are now at branches. But interactions include literally every time someone opens a banking app, even just checking their balance multiple times a day. It reflects an explosion in technology-driven interactions, not a real decline in branch visits. But it's a stat for Anna Bligh, the banks and politicians to wave around to justify the banks' agenda of forcing, not following, their customers into what is, especially for elderly customers, the risky world of digital banking, by taking away the reliable alternatives of branches, ATMs and cash. The truth is coming out in the Senate inquiry, the Senate inquiry has proven that bank branches are profitable, and has forced Westpac to reverse the closures of eight branches. The Senators are also talking about the need for a public bank to guarantee banking services and force the Big Four to compete.

The federal member for Riverina responds to comments from the Australian Banking Association's Anna Bligh about the future of banking in regional Australia.

The Australian Banking Association's Anna Bligh recently highlighted the growing role Australia Post is playing in providing banking services via contracts with many banks in Australia Post outlets. We discuss with the general manager of retail services Josh Bannister what Bank@Post presently covers for regional Australians.

We discuss with the Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Banking Association, Anna Bligh, the commercial reasons banks are closing regional branches, whether they will self-impose a moratorium like the Commonwealth Bank have on branch closures as another political inquiry occurs and the growing role Australia Post is playing in banking services. We explore whether Australia Post alter its shopfronts to provide more confidentiality for regional bank customers and why bank customers are entitled to vote with their feet if another bank or other institution is offering better services in their town.

The RBA's interest rate rise only compounds the pain for households already struggling with the rising cost of living, and the central bank isn't done yet. Anna Bligh is the Chief Executive of the Australian Banking Association and she joins the program to discuss the rise.

Major banks have removed hundreds of ATMs in the last year, as the industry responded to the scrapping of withdrawal fees and consumers further reducing their use of cash. 6PR Mornings host Liam Bartlett spoke with Anna Bligh, Australian Banking Association CEO to discuss the very definite trend line in Perth as many banks are shrinking their network. Ms Bligh told Liam that "customers are voting with their feet," preferring their mobile phones as their own personal ATM. “Increasingly Australians are banking on their phones, they are paying for their goods and services via online services or their tap and go card,” she said. "Less and less of us are using cash to pay anything. Many of us don't even keep cash on us." However, Ms Bligh did emphasise that Australian banks do not see our society becoming fully cashless anytime soon.  "There is going to continue to be a role for cash. It's not about to disappear tomorrow." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hundreds of bank branches have shut their doors or announced their imminent closure since the start of 2020, mostly in Victoria and NSW. As more customers begin to bank online, what will these changes mean for those who don't?

Anna Bligh made history in 2009 when she became the first woman popularly elected as Premier of an Australian state. For almost five years she served as the Premier of Queensland and achieved much for her people in that time. She was also a staunch advocate for the arts in her state, taking on the Arts Ministry and overseeing a major period of transformation for the state’s major cultural institutions. In this interview with our Artistic Director, Lyndon Terracini, Bligh talks about what’s required for a government to commit to supporting the arts, building Brisbane’s ambitious Gallery of Modern Art, and bringing both Mikhail Gorbachev and the Paris Opera Ballet to Queensland.    

The financial services landscape looks fundamentally different to what it did ten years ago.

How do policymakers and regulators balance restoring trust in our financial system with maintaining the flow of credit? Australia's banking industry had long had a reputation for being among the world's safest for investors. Its reputation has been tarnished in recent times after the explosion of scrutiny from the Hayne Royal Commission. Hear from Anna Bligh, Chief Executive Officer at the Australian Banking Association, and Simon Cowan, Research Director at the Centre for Independent Studies.

Consumer groups and bankers' associations are both in agreement: The Banking sector needs to change - Tüketici grupları, kraliyet bankacılık komisyonunun raporundaki önerilerin bazılarına destek açıklaması yaptı.Tüketici hakları grubu CHOICE, raporu, bankacılık ve finans piyasasının baştan sona temizlenmesi için bir fırsat olduğunu söyledi.CHOICE’un başında olan Alan Kirkland, onyıllardır süren lobicilik faliyetinin sektörü içten çürüttüp tüketicilere zarar veren kanunların meclisten geçmesini sağladığını söyledi.Sektörün belli zayıf kurallar üzerinde kendi kendini denetlemesini sağlayan sistemin sona ermesini istiyor. Ayrıca gizli komisyon ücreti geleneğinin de bitmesi gerektiğini söylüyor

Today, experts reveal the tips and tricks spin doctors use to shape the political messages you’re hearing every day - especially during election campaigns. AAP Image/Mick TsikasIt’s February, the holidays seem like a distant memory and here we are barrelling toward a federal election, which the government has indicated will be in May. Remember in the olden days – as in, a few elections ago – we used to have a fairly set election campaign period of usually about six weeks? Now, of course, politicians seem to always be in campaign mode. They’re not doing that all by themselves, of course. There’s a small army of spin doctors, social media strategists, political campaign advisers and press secretaries behind the scenes, finessing every utterance so it fits with the overall campaign strategy. And that’s what we are talking about on the podcast today – the art of political spin. Read more: It's reputation that matters when spin doctors go back to the newsroom We’ll hear from Caroline Fisher, political communication and journalism researcher from the University of Canberra. She began her career as a journalist with the ABC, but went on to work as a media adviser for Labor’s Anna Bligh, a former Queensland premier. Today, she’s talking to Michelle Grattan, political journalist and Professorial Fellow at the University of Canberra about the tips and tricks spin doctors use to shape the political messages you’re hearing every day. And you can read Caroline Fisher’s article on the spin tactics over here. Read more: The vomit principle, the dead bat, the freeze: how political spin doctors' tactics aim to shape the news All year round and especially during election season, you’re going to hear a lot of competing claims about the state of the economy. Has school funding been cut or is it at a record high? Do tax cuts make the economy better or worse? Why are the government and the opposition saying seemingly contradictory things about debt and deficits? To find out, Lucinda Beaman – who was our FactCheck editor but has just moved to the ABC – spoke to Fabrizio Carmignagni, a professor of economics at the Griffith Business School, Griffith University. He’s authored many FactCheck articles for The Conversation, where he tests statements by key public figures against the evidence and his special super power is pulling back the curtain to reveal why certain claims you hear about the economy don’t stand up to scrutiny. Today, Professor Carmignani reveals why you should be suspicious when you hear a politician claim their government has created jobs, how to spot a bit of causation vs correlation spin doctoring, and other political porkies that make economists’ skin crawl.

ANU/Canberra Times meet the author event with Anna Bligh in conversation with The Hon Tanya Plibersek MP Anna Bligh knows something about hard knocks and high walls. She was raised by a single mother in the working class Gold Coast, a young girl with a soon-to-be-estranged dad who struggled with alcoholism. She spent over 17 years in the rough and tumble of the Queensland Parliament (seven of them as either Deputy Premier or Premier). In 2011, she led Queensland through the devastation of Australia's largest natural disasters. Her Party then lost the 2012 State election and Anna stepped down to start a new life, only to find herself diagnosed with cancer. Writing with her trademark honesty, warmth and humour about the challenges that public and private life have thrown her, Anna reflects candidly - as a wife, mother, daughter, friend and political leader - on the lessons of leadership, resilience, community and family. Anna Bligh became Deputy Premier of Queensland in 2005 and Premier in 2007. In March 2009 Anna made history, becoming the first woman to lead a party to victory in a State election in Australia. After losing the election in 2012, she stepped down and is now the CEO of the NSW YWCA. Anna Bligh was joined in conversation by The Hon Tanya Plibersek MP, Federal Member for Sydney, Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Australian Parliament.
