A Wunch of Bankers: A Year in the Hayne Royal Commission by Daniel Ziffer
Wucking funderful.
Wil Anderson
A jolly romp across the carcass of corporate greed.
Sammy J
[A] rollicking blow-by-blow of the Hayne Royal Commission into banking ... Ziffer’s doom, gloom and snark sums up our twenty-first century tastes perfectly. Enjoy this real-life Dickensian nightmare, and despair!
Chris Dite, Readings
After covering last year’s banking royal commission, I never thought I’d want to read another word about it, but reading this book is like being next to the naughty schoolboy. The result is hugely entertaining but also affecting as Melbourne journalist Daniel Ziffer’s light touch reminds us this was about normal people who were impacted by bank wrongdoing. The book works brilliantly as a guided tour through the sordid details of the royal commission as he embraces the pettiness and absurdity of the excuse making of many of the major players. Where the banks and other financial institutions were so tone deaf, Ziffer’s ear is pitch perfect, showing warmth and respect to those who were done over as well as piquing the phoniness of excuses by the institutions. Nothing is sacred — from the extremes of corporate lies and cover-ups to laughing at pompous CEO signatures. Ziffer’s book has what the banking system was shown to lack — a moral compass and real heart.

Daniel Ziffer doesn’t suffer from inertia. His book, A Wunch of Bankers, is a supercharged flight through the absurdity of the year he spent reporting from the commission for ABCTV.
Peter Martin, The Saturday Age
A fly-on-the-wall account of the year-long banking Royal Commission … Ziffer’s one-liners in response to Commission findings are refreshing.
Company Director Magazine
In A Wunch of Bankers, Ziffer brings out the colour and the grit of the Royal Commission’s proceedings, and explores broader issues raised by the testimony.
