Not all will survive when loan repayment pause ends as banks prepare for "hard decisions" - Banking Association boss Anna Bligh warns

Deferrals or pauses on bank loan repayments have been a critical lifeline during the COVID crisis, preventing many home owners and businesses from going to the wall.

But the Australian Banking Association chief executive Anna Bligh says although 91 percent of borrowers have now resumed repayments, it's clear that some won't survive as banks start calling loans in. 

The end of the loan deferral scheme coincides with the withdrawal of JobKeeper late next month.

But Ms Bligh tells ABC's Peter Ryan there won't be an economic shock when the emergency support pulls back.

Permanant changes to disclosure rules challenged by Labor and shareholder activists

Treasurer Josh Frydenerg is being challenged over his plans to make permanent changes to continous disclosure rules for companies listed on the Australian stock exchange.

Monday Finance on RN Breakfast: Crown chairman Helen Coonan should quit in boardroom purge, says former Victoria premier Jeff Kennett

Former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett says Crown Resorts chairman Helen Coonan should resign as part of a boardroom cleanout. 

Mr Kennett says Ms Coonan needs to take responsibility given her board role from 2011 when evidence of money laundering breaches at the casino should have been detected. 

Crown chief executive Ken Barton is also under pressure to resign after the Bergin inquiry found the company was unfit to hold a licence for a Sydney casino.

Mr Kennett is also highly critical of Victorian premier Dan Andrews who he says should face the music and resign of failures in hotel quarantine and contact tracing that sparked a five day lockdown.
