Agree in part with your post. Certainly, the banking sector, especially the oligopoly of the four major banks has been like the protected kola in the tree, protected and bailed out every time over decades by respective Govts, despite the never-ending scandals (eg current ANZ) and their worthless commitments for remediation and reform after every Inquiry and the odd Banking RC. Certainly, I am not a devotee of the banking sector. That said, CBA has performed well and rewarded its holders very handsomely and cannot be denied.

As for WDS, it should be the tradie as you post, but is not anything like that. Instead, more like the green woke activist, spruiking all that nonsense, trying to affiliate with Labor Govts, who have outward policies to destroy the oil and gas sector. Look at the inexorable depreciation of the WDS sp, compared to its sector peers and the broader market.
