My question is directed to the Attorney-General, Senator George Brandis, representing the Prime Minister. For the last five months, One Nation has held a Senate inquiry into the conduct of banks and receivers towards rural customers and the devastating impact their erroneous behaviour has had on families around Australia. This inquiry received 85 submissions and unearthed some disturbing and horrifying stories of dishonesty by bank appointed receivers and liquidators, farmers who have been left financially ruined and some who, unfortunately, have committed suicide as a result of such unlawful foreclosures. When will the government be able to finally announce the date of implementation of the revised voluntary banking code of conduct?
