bloody hell Westpac, always the first to hike rates but never the first to drop 'em. classic.

Zoe King2026-07-08T23:54:11.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed Westpac, you're all the same

Eva Anderson2026-07-08T23:50:11.000Z

as a student just trying to survive, this is devastating. guess i'll never own a house lol

Quinn Murphy2026-07-09T00:47:11.000Z

same boat mate. feels like a losing game

Zoe King2026-07-09T00:08:11.000Z

OCR goes up 25bps, and of course the banks pass it on instantly. what a surprise 🙄

Quinn Murphy2026-07-09T00:16:11.000Z

anyone else feel like we're just getting rinsed by these banks every single time? ffs

Luca Reid2026-07-09T00:34:11.000Z

looks like I'm switching banks again. anyone got recommendations?

Luca Reid2026-07-09T01:02:11.000Z

honestly just need a bank that doesn't shaft us every chance they get

Peyton Hall2026-07-09T00:40:11.000Z

variable rate going up again, but at least my Bonus Saver gets a tiny bump? small mercies I guess

Eva Anderson2026-07-09T01:21:11.000Z

lol cope, they don't care about us little guys

Tom Harris2026-07-09T00:54:11.000Z

Peyton Hall2026-07-09T01:40:11.000Z
