Bank victims pan reappointment of APRA boss
Macquarie University banking academic Pat McConnell said the reappointment looked “silly and unnecessary”.

“Ostrich and sand is the analogy that jumps to mind,” he said.

“ I think it is deliberately pre-empting the process of the royal commission.”

McConnell said he was concerned that APRA had not yet responded to criticism from the Productivity Commission about the way it managed the crackdown on interest-only lending by the banks.
