From the SMH, this could get ugly:
A customer who claims he was spied on by the Commonwealth Bank is threatening legal action that could expose records of further covert surveillance operations by the bank.
Geoff Shannon, the founder of the Unhappy Banking advocacy group, said he had legal advice that the alleged spying could amount to an ”interference with the administration of justice” because he is involved in litigation with the bank.
”We’re actually issuing subpoenas, I think, on them for all the reports and any other surveillance jobs,” Mr Shannon said.
Fairfax Media reported over the weekend that CBA had hired security firm G4S to spy on Gold Coast-based consumer advocate Michael Fraser. One to watch, no pun intended.
