Commonwealth Bank chief executive, Matt Comyn , has described a proposed excessive profits tax as “insidious populism” and labelled criticism of profitable businesses as fact-free rhetoric” that is damaging trust in public institutions.

Comyn ’s criticism was partly directed at the Greens ’ “package of Robin Hood reforms” it will take to the next election, which includes a 40% tax on “excessive profits” of big businesses.
