Government to offer savings deposit protection to savers up to $20000

The government announced yesterday that it will offer protection for savings up to $20000

It will guarantee savings with credit unions, building societies, finance companies that take deposits, and cash portfolio investment entities sponsored by covered institutions.

Unfortunately it doesn't cover those who lost money in the finance companies collapse.

At least now we know were covered if things do get worse

What do you think?
