Midland Express: Labor takes aim at banks and power companies over paper bill ‘rort’
Banks and utility companies that are charging people for paper statements and bills they used to get for free are in Labor’s sights as the practice is branded a “rort” that particularly hurts the elderly and disadvantaged.
Opposition consumer affairs spokesman Sam Dastyari says companies such as the Commonwealth Bank and utility providers such as Energy Australia and AGL need to be brought into line.
