Jeff Morris says the way whistleblowers are being treated is ‘quite disturbing’ and ‘reminiscent of George Orwell’s 1984’. The former Commonwealth Bank employee-turned-whistleblower says greater protections are needed for whistleblowers — especially following AFP raids on ABC headquarters. ‘The Morrison government is making up the rules to suit itself, and anybody who challenges the government will be thrown in jail,’ he says. ‘When a government can behave like this, you wake up one day and you’re living in China.’

Today was D-Day for Australia's largest bank, with the Commonwealth Bank's CEO Matt Comyn the first chief executive to face the music. Whistleblower Jeff Morris exposed corrupt practices at Commonwealth Bank that helped lead to the royal commission, and he blames the bonuses for creating a culture where sales were pursued at all costs.

2018 Annual General Meeting

The 2018 Annual General Meeting was held on Wednesday, 7 November 2018 at 9.30am (Brisbane time) in the Plaza Ballroom at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, on the corner of Merivale and Glenelg Streets, South Brisbane, Queensland.

It is important to remember that the banking royal commission was called by a government that labelled it “regrettable and unnecessary” and limited both its resources and its term to just one year.
