Committee hearings blog: Youpla future

Dr Leigh is not happy with the way this is going.

Youpla seems to be questioning some of the royal commission's findings.

Dr Leigh says "every other witness" has been apologetic and looking to respond to Hayne's findings.

"You seem to be rejecting the royal commission's findings, which would be very worrying for your customers."

Mr Jones and Mr Simon say this is not the case - but that representations of their company have not always been fair.

Dr Leigh says the royal commission was critical of Youpla deducting payments via Centrepay.

Mr Jones says that people were notified, but says there are arguments for reinstating the Centrepay payment method.

Dr Leigh asks about Youpla's indigenous staff levels.

Mr Jones says Youpla is 50% indigenous-owned and 20% of staff are indigenous.
