I'm serious, for a few months maybe even a whole year, Oz's big 4 banks were considered less trustworthy than used car salespeople. Now i think they've managed to claw their way back up above the used car dealers, but only just. Oz is not the country to walk into a room full of strangers and proudly announce that you work for a major bank. Assuming anyone believes you, you may find yourself on the receiving end of a deathly silence or a beating. But like i said, thats only if they believe you. So few people are employed by the banking industry in Oz these days, the most likely reaction you'd get is "Yeah right, bullshit. Noone works for them anymore. At least not unless you're here on holidays from India." The banking industry has such a bad rep in Oz that most of us would consider the banks to be the pirates of this story.
