Decagon, you can now come back from under your rock.

If you still have any money left you might consider depositing it with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. They still pay a decent rate of interest and your money is fully guranteed by the Australian Government. Just have a look at this statement issued recently by the bank:

The Federal Government Deposit Guarantee
On 12 October 2008 the Federal Government announced plans to guarantee all money on deposit made at Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), including the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

All money on deposit with the Commonwealth Bank is Federal Government Guaranteed free of charge up until 28 November 2008. After that date, the Government has applied the following conditions:

If your total deposits with the Bank are less than $1 million, they will continue to be covered by the Federal Government Deposit Guarantee at no charge.
If your total deposits are more than $1 million, you can 'opt in' for the additional funds to be covered by the Federal Government Deposit Guarantee. This is subject to a government charge currently equal to 0.70% p.a. (charged monthly) on the average deposit balance exceeding $1 million.
The $1 million threshold applies to individual (legal entity) depositors. So if you have $1 million on deposit in your own name, and a further $1 million in a partnership, then each of these deposits will continue to be guaranteed at no charge.

If you are a customer with deposit balances of greater than $1 million, you have the choice to 'opt-in' to the guarantee by paying the Federal Government Deposit Guarantee fee.

However, before making the decision as to whether you should take up this option and pay the government charge, you should consider that the strength and security of the Commonwealth Bank is unparalleled in Australia with a AA rating by the major ratings agencies, the most highly awarded deposit products through Cannex, and being named Money Magazine's Bank of the Year for 2008, so it is highly unlikely that any of our customers will ever need to utilise the Federal Government Deposit Guarantee.

MTBochs, now you're making even less sense than usual. Since you come from the shallow end of the human gene pool you are way out of your depth here. The last thing we need is fascists like you.
