I am aware of the Senate's desire to get to the Criminal Code Amendment (Protecting Minors Online) Bill 2017, so I seek leave to have my speech incorporated into Hansard.

Leave granted.

The speech read as follows—

This Government and ASIC

Financial Counselling

The need for a Royal Commission

banks putting intense pressure on the regulator to dial down media releases;

the widespread sale of junk add-on insurance,

unconscionable treatment of small business borrowers, and

concerns about the responsible lending practices with respect to interest only loans; and

the 200 million dollar fees for no service scandal.
