Commissioner Kenneth Hayne has broadened the banking royal commission’s terms of reference to include the $A344 billion mortgage broking sector. Many had been surprised that the sector was not included in the royal commission’s original terms of reference, given that over 50 per cent of all mortgages are generated via mortgage brokers.
