And Senator O'Keeffe raised and pressed you on this already. But, in view of the shocking banking scandals, whereas ... where, in the public domain, it is known that and proved that some ... some banks were found blatantly cheating taxpayers, why did you have some confidence that they now were going to be paragons of integrity?
