Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

2:55 am

Mr. Rob Wright:

There have been a lot of observations in every report about a common view - a common sense of purpose on things going forward. So there was a collective view that things are working fine, we are moving forward and let us all share in this collective future. There were few brakes put on and that is not typically what one would see in any country from that political debate unless somebody is putting out, saying, "Here's why we have to be cautious." I think the onus is on Government, appropriately so at that time.
