The latest Roy Morgan ranking of Australia’s most trusted and distrusted brands has revealed a big gain in trust for the nation’s major banks. The Commonwealth Bank is Australia’s most trusted bank and the seventh most trusted brand overall, while Roy Morgan’s rankings also show a decline in trust in the ABC, which fell out of the top 20 most trusted brands for the first time since the report commenced in 2017. Commenting on the ABC’s decline, Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine said it was due to a decline in trust among the ABC’s ‘heartland ‘of Labor voters

Incoming Qantas chairman John Mullen has told the Australian Financial Review Chanticleer 50th Anniversary lunch that corporate Australia’s support for the Voice referendum harmed its image with many people. Qantas backed the Voice under former CEO Alan Joyce and departing chairman Richard Goyder, while it also actively supported same-sex marriage, but Mullen suggested that it was potentially unwise for companies to get too involved in a social cause that could be connected to a particular government, only to find that government out of office

Corporate Australia is getting tarnished by the banking royal commission, according to former federal treasurer Peter Costello. He says the banks survived the global financial crisis so unscathed that they became complacent, while the likelihood that the federal government’s full company tax cuts package will be passed by the Senate is looking highly unlikely because of the royal commission. James Pearson, the head of the Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry, says companies in other sectors should not have to miss out on tax cuts because of failings in the financial services sector.

ANZ Bank CEO Shayne Elliott says the Commonwealth Bank’s recent money-laundering problems have impacted the banking sector’s reputation as a whole. He also says the Federal Government’s new regulations governing bank executives are appropriate, as they need to be made accountable for their mistakes. Meanwhile, Westpac CEO Brian Hartzer says the banking major is working hard to ensure that its products, processes and policies are in line with community expectations.
