Levy announced would be helpful to BOQ, page-27

it's not 6.2 billion at all, as treasury has admitted they have stuffed up yet again.

the actual figure is only 4 billion as the banks have been given clearance that they can claim the levy as a pre tax deduction.

ps- i think someone should hold these ratings agencies to account for 'suspicious' decisions.
my theory is that the big end of town, coupled with shorters, may be in' bed' with these unsavory types, and hence the 'silly' rating.

it's akin to Malcolm- he gets into bed with anyone , stabs them in the back and then his decisions are left to speak for themselves, bloody atrocious.
