    The office is glued to the Superbowl today in the background. Can't help but wonder if its strategic to wait until 4pm today for the report-release; since its coverage in the media will be competing with Superbowl news coverage.... hmmm....

    I would say by the way the Banks are holding their value range the "RC"" findings are already priced into the market,could be wrong but six months time most will ask why they never took the short term risk for a long term some above 9% div's gain..imho..

    He’s also quite right. Are you suggesting he gives the truth a spell?

    It’s a better than reasonable chance there will be at least SOME changes that tighten borrowing capacity further. But who knows? We know that Hayne really didn’t think much of HEMs so while I don’t expect assessment rates to be increased - one would have to think there’s a reasonable chance he will recommend banks tighten up living costs. Now, we know most banks are already doing this but at the moment they are allowed some discretion. Ie Some (yes, most ) lenders look at bank statements and credit card statements - some don’t. But we will all know more this afternoon and over the next week or two as the Govt provides their responses to whatever the recommendations end up being.

    That's the thing, they don't actually need to change the metrics to restrict lending, simply changing how the metrics are verified will do that.

    Get rid of the HEM, make it a requirement that 3 months of statements are collected to verify living expenses, assume everything in those statements is an expense.

    By the time the banks go through this exercise, 99% of applicants will be well above the HEM on their expenses (unless they spend months living on $2 noodles and hiding things) and borrowing capacity will be heavily reduced.

    If CBA’s advice was bad before, imagine how good it will be when they aren’t being paid for it :D.

    CBA might have to shut down its FP arm and sack a stack of people :eek:. Then the government, the media, their clients will really start to scream ...

    u do need stricter lending criteria....borrowers are smart and manage their expenses over 3-6 months just to ensure they don't look high and this way they can get more loans...

    Anyone got a link to the ACTUAL report itself? Not a link to an SMH/News/BBC article 'about' the report, but the pure report?

    The .gov.au site URL which houses all other RC's is yet to publish a downloadable PDF of the findings. Or am I missing something? Does the public not get to see the full report in its purest??
