Opposition Leader Bill Shorten says the latest development in the scandal over manipulation of the bank bill swap rate demonstrates the need for a royal commission into the banking sector. The Australian Securities & Investments Commission will allege in the Federal Court that National Australia Bank manipulated the BBSW in 50 separate transactions from mid-2010 to late-2012. ASIC has previously launched legal action against Westpac and the ANZ Bank.
