Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Dr. Peter Bacon:

Somewhat, but that is the function of the legislation. They get a report on 20 March, they implement, they make the announcement on, whatever it was, 9 April, and then there is a whole statute that grows for, I think, 18 months or two years. In the end what one finishes up with is a statutory agency implementing a statute.
