Submission to: Regional Banking Taskforce, Treasury
Joint consumer group submission (led by Choice) responding to a consultation on regional banking. The submission recommends that banks commit to a moratorium on branch closures, that in towns with limited or no banking services the banking industry commit to expanding mobile banking and that every town in Australia has at least one fee-free option to withdraw cash. The Taskforce is also encouraged to meet with First Nations communities to understand the particular issues they face.

Interactive Gambling Amendment (Prohibition on Credit Card Use) Bill 2020
Submission to: Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee
While gambling is a legitimate form of entertainment for many Australians, gambling should not be funded by credit. We therefore support a prohibition on the use of credit cards, including via e-wallets, for digital gambling.
