Subject: Formal Referral – Major Banks’ Non-Disclosure and Missed Deadlines (Treaty & UN Warnings)
Dear APRA,
I am referring the following banks for prudential oversight review:
ANZ
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA)
Westpac Banking Corporation
National Australia Bank (NAB)
Each bank was formally notified of:
Documented treaty breaches under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, and
More than eight United Nations warnings to Australia (2011–2021) regarding inherited TCDD/Agent Orange harm.
Despite these notices, the banks:
Failed to disclose any response or substantive information to me when directly asked.
Missed the formal deadline of 7 August 2025 for engagement, and again failed to reply substantively by the final reminder of 22 August 2025.
For transparency, I have published a record of all communications, notices, and acknowledgements on my website and blog:
This site contains the full correspondence history, including banks’ automated replies and missed deadlines.
Their silence is now part of the evidentiary record. This raises clear prudential concerns:
If such risks were not disclosed to their insurers/reinsurers, their cover may be void or contested.
Failure to acknowledge or escalate these matters internally suggests deficiencies in risk governance and disclosure obligations.
I request that APRA:
Confirm whether these four banks have reported these matters to APRA as material risk events.
Confirm whether APRA will initiate supervisory review of their disclosure and governance processes in light of the missed deadlines and non-responses.
Please acknowledge receipt and provide a reference number for this referral. APRA’s response (or lack thereof) will be annexed to my ICC submission and related filings.
Warm Agent Orange Burns regards,
Danielle Stevens

A formal complaint has been lodged with the International Criminal Court for Crimes against Humanity. The final submission was the 1st of July 2025.
Australia ratified International treaties but failed to implement them into domestic laws.
When the United Nations tells you 8+ times you are breaking the law, YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW. Stockholm Convention & Agent Orange is a chemical war crime against children.
Profit before People is a crime.
