Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Brian Patterson:
No other models were ever seriously debated at the board, to answer your question. I think the problem, with the benefit of hindsight, is that while we adopted the European approach to regulation through principles-based there are two other elements missing. We weren't intrusive enough, because you can have principles-based regulation with a heavy intrusion, and we didn't, and also our enforcement action was too little too late.
