Turnbull was speaking after slamming the banks for not passing on fully the 0.25% interest rate cut and amidst calls for a public enquiry into the banking system.

Says Turnbull:

"What we will do now is institutionalize regular accountability and transparency. So this will become part of your regular annual schedule if you are a bank CEO appearing before the House economics committee. You'll appear at least annually."
