Standard & Poor's raises rating

On 5 October 2012 Standard & Poor's Rating Services announced that it has
raised its ratings on 38 hybrid capital instruments issued by eight
Australian banking groups and their subsidiary companies; and at the same
time removed them from CreditWatch with positive implications, where they
were placed on September 7, 2012.

This rating action follows a statement by the Australian Prudential
Regulation Authority (APRA) on September 28, 2012, concerning the release of
its Basel III capital reform package.

The rating action for ANZ National Bank Limited is as follows:
