from ...the gossip
Finsec Union's unofficial weblog
8 February 2010
Westpac CEO Gail Kelly recently spent $11.2 million on a new property in an affluent Sydney beach suburb. The two-hectare property features an indoor heated pool, a spa, a tennis court and incredibly, an Olympic equestrian arena! So extravagant was the price tag, it marked a record price for any property in the district.
Gail Kelly’s splurge looks even more out of place when many of the bank’s customers and staff (in New Zealand and Australia) are feeling the pinch of the recession. Nice for some!

About the campaign
The operations of the Big Four Aussie-owned banks, ANZ National Bank, BNZ, Westpac and ASB, are harmful to the lives of grassroots Kiwis.
The Bad Banks campaign has been initiated by Socialist Worker to challenge banking power in NZ. By targeting the banks we target a pillar of neo-liberalism.
We welcome other groups and individuals getting involved and producing their own campaign publicity against the banks.
