Why would I suggest that? CommBank is a different matter entirely. For
example they're closed on weekends and public holidays, but the whole country
doesn't stop and people die as a result.

Then you will know Annandale Commbank and ATM has gone. And they suggest
using PO. another "spot the difference".
ofcourse before privatisation of Commbank was Commonwealth Bank of
Australia (and where there wasn't a bank use a post office - also
National). Annandale Bank modern building can be seen in this 1970s

declaration of interest... insignificant as insignificant ownership of
shares - but others may have a more significant interest (in Commbank,
Optus or Telstra all listed on ASX).
Would you buy shares if Austpost was privatised?
electricity already privatised: "from the previously state-owned energy
retailer/distributor, EnergyAustralia, when the retail division of the
company, along with the EnergyAustralia brand, was sold by the
Government of New South Wales, and the remainder renamed Ausgrid."..?
