week: Mr Ford heads what used to be the Australian Defence Credit Union, this week holding its first annual general meeting in Canberra under its new name, the Australian Military Bank, according to Nine News Australia. This isn't an organisation familiar to many Australians. But then, his organisation isn't likely to be dragged up before a parliamentary committee like the execs of the big four. Its 33 branches are all on defence bases and facilities and its 50,000 members are overwhelmingly currently serving and former defence personnel and public servants."The big four are much larger than us and service all people and do all things. We just want to do an excellent job with the defence community," he told AAP. The original defence credit union was founded in 1959 and last year members voted overwhelmingly to change to a mutual bank. That is not what we are interested in being or doing.
