It is clearly thematic that we trust the brands of physical stores. No surprise that Bunnings and Aldi rank one and two respectively. But they are also in the company of retail peers including Kmart, Apple, Big W, Myer, JB Hi-Fi and Australia Post inside the top 10 for trust.

    I’ve given up trying to understand the addiction Australians have to the Big Four banks. Even after all the scandals they just keep going back. Sorry, but I’m out of all sympathy now. The next time these people get fucked over I will just laugh very loudly at them.
