Banking Bad with Adele Ferguson
State Libary of Queensland
Join Adele Ferguson for the latest fascinating Talking Ideas event at State Library of Queensland as she discusses how corporate greed broke our trust and failed Australia.
Few people were more instrumental in bringing about the Royal Banking Commission than journalist Adele Ferguson. Through her stories in print and on television, she pursued the truth about funds mismanagement, fraud, lack of probity, and the hard-sell culture that took over the finance industry.
Now in her book Banking Bad, Ferguson tells the full story of the power imbalance, toxic culture and cover-ups. She looks at the outcomes of the royal commission - the falls from grace, the scathing assessment of the regulators, and the colossal compensation bill - an estimated $10 billion.
Nice to know - Adele's book will be available on the night. Tickets - Full $37, Full + Banking Bad book - $67.
Need to know - Make a night of it and come along early to enjoy live music, hot snacks, cold beer and wine at the Library Café Bar.
