The Banking Code of Practice was originally designed to safeguard consumers from bad banking practices, however since the first code was issued, there has been a continual watering down of these protections, effectively rendering the code meaningless. Currently, ASIC is conducting a review of the code. During the recent Senate Estimates, I inquired whether certain […]

I have asked, over multiple estimate sessions, about the approval process for lab-grown meat.
