Greenpeace takes action against ANZ - Australia's dirtiest bank

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 07/12/2010 - 6:28pm

Tuesday, 7 December - At 7.30am Greenpeace activists re-branded ANZ as Australia's dirtiest bank – right in front of its NSW HQ in Martin Place.

The activists scaled 12 metre flagpoles, hung our re-branded banner and shone a spotlight on the offending bank.

"ANZ claim to be sustainable, but in fact, it is the biggest financer of polluting power in Australia," said Greenpeace Campaigner John Hepburn. "We're helping ANZ begin a new era of honesty with its customers."
