The work of leading Australian journalist Adele Ferguson was a major factor in instigating the recently concluded Hayne royal commission into banking.

In Banking Bad, Adele reveals the shocking truth about Australia’s financial institutions. She traces the origins of the banking scandal – a real-life story of greed and malpractice, of captains of industry who fell publicly from grace, and of compromised regulators who worked with the organisations they policed.

What will the government do with the recommendations from an investigation it never wanted? And where to from here?

Adele Ferguson is an award-winning business writer and columnist for leading newspapers. She is a reporter on ABC’s Four Corners and author of the best-selling unauthorised biography of Gina Rinehart, Australia’s richest woman.
