Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says Australian banks require more accountability and transparency. He is confident that requiring the "big four" CEOs to front a parliamentary committee at least once a year will facilitate this, although he concedes that it will take some time for the culture within banks to change. The Federal Government also proposes to create a new tribunal for aggrieved customers to seek restitution, which was backed by Commonwealth Bank CEO Ian Narev and ANZ Bank CEO Shayne Elliott when they fronted the committee.
