A week of big bosses and bigger questions

The commission is halfway to the finish line of this final round of hearings.

Kenneth Hayne, Rowena Orr, Michael Hodge et al. will return to Melbourne after camping out in Sydney for the week — perhaps they had a flight to catch this afternoon?

The hearings exposed some serious gaps in corporate governance and regulatory oversight and will no doubt provide the commissioner with plenty to mull over ahead of his final report.

Here are some of the key moments of the sitting:

A pretty intense week, with the Commonwealth Bank and ASIC dominating the commission's time and feeling most of the heat — they'll be hoping it's not a sign of things to come in the final report in February but that's likely a false hope.

The commission will be back at 10am AEDT on Monday, as will this blog , with Michael Janda back at the helm — expect more drama (and cricket analogies).
