Have you been wondering about what has happened in The Tamil Refugee Case?

As you know, that is the very high profile case that has been unfolding in the Federal Courts, concerning the attempts of a Sri Lankan family of Tamil ethnicity to avoid removal from Australia. 

The family is composed of the parents, Priya and Nades, both of whom arrived in Australia by boat, and their two daughters, Kopika and Tharunicaa, who were both born in Australia.  They have lived in the community of Biloela in rural Queensland for a number of years, and have received vocal public support from members of that community for their efforts to avoid removal from Australia.

A report published by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) has revealed shocking evidence that the average Australian consumer is paying far too much for their currency transfers.

During 2017-2018, consumers who used the four big banks for their international money transfers (IMT) could have collectively saved around AUD150 million if they had used a more competitively priced service.

Consumers and small businesses are defaulting to their bank or using airport currency providers for last minute currency transfers, but these are far from being the cheapest option.
