Bad Banks leaflet #5: 'ASB misleads us'


The latest Bad Banks leaflet has been produced to use at stalls and actions outside ASB banks. It targets ASB's misleading (to the say the least) claim that it's been a "Kiwi bank since 1847". ASB is currently 100% owned by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

ASB bosses are trying to "suck up" to us because they're worried that the bad public mood against the banks might force the government to curb their power and rein in their profits. Which is, of course, exactly what the the Bad Banks campaign would like to see.

The text on the front page exposes all the other bad things that ASB has been doing, including how the ASB is linked to the international bank cartels responsible for the global financial implosion.

The back page features an interview with Andrew Campbell from Finsec about ASB's anti-union stance. ASB is currently the only major bank that is not unionised. See Is it "Kiwi" to be anti-union?

If you would like bulk copies of the Bad Banks leaflet #5 sent to you, email Vaughan svpl@xtra.co.nz or ph/txt 021-0415 082. Invite other interested people in your area to do an "exposure" of ASB outside a local bank branch.
