I am really interested in whether the minister actually has information in relation to the status of Australian financial institutions, which I think is a reasonably important thing for the Assistant Treasurer to have knowledge of. If the Assistant Treasurer is not getting that information, I wonder how much confidence customers of these banks can have, and how they are expected to receive this information. If you are an Australian who has a bank account, how are you expected to receive information if the credit rating for that institution has been downgraded?
