It was the handwritten note from the chief executive that has revealed just how far Australia's largest bank sank in it's single-minded pursuit of profit.
And putting it right could cost Commonwealth Bank millions.
The banking royal commission has heard CommBank knew for years it was selling customers dud insurance policies but did nothing about.
But despite current CommBank Matt Comyn once being in charge of the division that sold the financial products, he said he actually tried to axe them. Throwing his one-time boss under the bus, Mr Comyn said his predecessor in the top job, Ian Narev, repeatedly overruled him. And he said he had the notes to prove it.
CBA may end up compensating more than half a million customers who were sold the consumer credit insurance products.

CommBank is already paying $46 million to 154,000 customers over the mis-selling of credit card and loan protection insurance.
An independent review in September raised concerns about the sales process or value of the consumer credit insurance products for another 374,000 customers.
Mr Comyn said CommBank will extend its remediation program to cover those people if necessary, agreeing it would likely have to compensate a significant number of additional customers.
The royal commission has heard CommBank knew about problems with its credit card plus product and the risk of mis-selling of its loan protection products in 2015.
It announced it was dumping the credit card and personal loan policies - but keeping home loan insurance - in March this year, days before the issues came up at a royal commission hearing.
Mr Comyn said he tried to get rid of them three years earlier while CBA's retail banking head, saying he was willing to forgo the $150 million the bank made annually from the consumer credit insurance products, reported AAP.
An April 2015 audit revealed 64,000 CBA customers were sold credit card plus insurance when they were unemployed and therefore ineligible to make a claim.

Mr Comyn said he took the issue to Mr Narev but after "enthusiastically pursuing" his argument he was overruled during a May 2015 meeting.
He produced a handwritten note, that was shown to the commission and photographed by a Fairfax reporter. Beneath phrases such as "questionable customer needs" and "opaque pricing mechanism" was a line Mr Comyn attributed directly to the then-CEO.
Mr Comyn's notes state Mr Narev told him to "temper your sense of justice" when it came to axing the products. Slightly irritated by the comment, Mr Comyn said he took that to mean "calm down".
"He was referring to - I was enthusiastically pursuing my argument, which I thought was right. And he was telling me to temper it."

Mr Comyn raised the issue again in 2016. "I was insufficiently persuasive," he said.
He admitted issues such as the mis-selling of add-on insurance and the charging of fees for no service, for which CBA is paying $116 million in remediation, revealed the bank prioritised short-term profits ahead of customers.
"We didn't sufficiently prioritise customers," he said on Tuesday. "We didn't understand the potential for harm."
Mr Comyn said CBA had not had the right leaders in the past. Did it now?
"We will see," he said. "I hope so. Yes."
Mr Comyn said the culture of the bank must change and strike the right balance between delivering good outcomes for customers and delivering sustainable, long-term returns to shareholders.

Interview with J. Walker Smith on Algorithms.
Adotas spoke with J. Walker Smith, Chief Knowledge Officer at Kantar Consulting to discuss the impact of algorithms.
Which aspect of retail is AI impacting more, marketing or shopping?
When discussing marketing or shopping we are really talking about “algorithms,” not “AI.” By algorithms, we mean a set of structured and fixed decision rules, which are embedded inside marketing automation software or consumer apps. AI refers to learning systems that update and (hopefully) improve the decision rules through experience and other inputs. There is a blurry boundary between the two, but I’d like to focus on algorithms.
The biggest impact is the ongoing erasure of the distinction between marketing and shopping. What differentiated the two in the past has been lost in the digital era. If I had to pick one of the two, I would say marketing. However, I say this with the following nuance: The biggest commercial impact is seen in shopping, but the biggest functional impact is seen in marketing. Marketing can now be quantitatively gauged and evaluated. Obviously, this wasn’t always true. Shopping is still about conversion, just as always. Marketing is now about triggering action, but it used to be only about awareness and perceptions.
How have algorithms changed the way consumers shop?
Algorithms are often predictive (e.g., Netflix), thus improving fit, saving time and providing value. Consumers want algorithms to enable them to make better decisions — both a better product and a better shopping experience. This use of algorithms (mostly through apps) is only going to increase, as consumers are going to rely more and more on algorithms to do the legwork, which is exactly the kind of convenience that consumers have always wanted more of.
With a shift towards algorithms, how does value change?
Value improves in two ways. First, in terms of perfect fit: Consumers want personalization, but not if it comes with more demands on their time, their cognitive capacity, their pocketbooks, or their stress and worry. This also means a shift of value, because, when every item is highly personalized, the signaling value of premium products will be eroded. Put simply, what I have won’t signal any status to you because you’ll have a product personalized for you and, thus, won’t care about mine. Furthermore, personalization will increasingly be expected, rather than a point of differentiation, so value will have to be found in other places than the promise of customization. Increasingly, I think the point of differentiation will be the quality of the experience, and algorithms will drive that.
The second way value improves is in terms of time: As algorithms make shopping more efficient and less time-consuming, consumers will get time back in their lives. This will create new opportunities for brands to deliver new and innovative things for people to do with this reclaimed chunk of time.
What are some of the ways marketers can pivot to this new algorithmic reality?
The biggest pivot will have to be a better understanding of consumer decision-making that is algorithmically enabled. Even with the digital transformation of the marketplace, most marketing models treat consumers as if they are making decisions wholly on their own. In fact, consumers are using algorithms to navigate the decision process, and marketers will have to learn these new realities.
In particular, to the extent that algorithms are predictive, marketers will have to learn how to influence algorithms because these predictions – not consumer decision-making – will drive purchasing. More specifically, this means influencing the profiles of consumers that predictive algorithms rely on for matching against product options. This is not something marketers have done much of, so it will require pivoting to a new set of tasks, priorities, and metrics.
Is it necessary for marketers to adapt to the new algorithmic reality in order to succeed?
Without question, yes. Algorithms will drive decision-making, and marketers have always had to adapt to whatever influences decision-making. In that sense, algorithms are a new form of the same old challenge. However, algorithms are more than that, because they don’t just sway decisions, they actually commandeer them. Marketers will have to learn how to advertise to algorithms in order to succeed.

FRAKNFORT, Ky. (AP) -- The Kentucky Democratic Party has filed an ethics complaint against Republican Gov. Matt Bevin for using his official Twitter account to support a GOP congressman's re-election campaign.
Bevin's official Twitter account posted a message on Saturday saying he was at the rally with a packed house of people who love President Donald Trump and are supporting U.S. Rep. Andy Barr on Nov. 6. The tweet has since been deleted. An identical tweet was posted to Bevin's campaign Twitter account.
Tuesday, Democrats announced they filed a complaint with the Executive Branch Ethics Commission. Kentucky Democratic Party chairman Ben Self noted state law bans elected officials from using state time, resources and equipment for political campaign purposes.
Representatives from Bevin's office did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
NEW DELHI: India has sent experts to try to contain an outbreak of the zika virus in the popular tourist destination of Jaipur, capital of the northern state of Rajasthan, with a close watch on pregnant women.
“The situation continues to be monitored regularly,” the ministry said in a statement late on Monday.
The Toronto-based International Association for Medical Assistance to Travellers said it was advising pregnant travellers to postpone trips to the area, part of India’s tourist “golden triangle” of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra, home to the Taj Mahal.
It is the third such outbreak in India, with the first in the western city of Ahmedabad in January 2017 and the second in the southern state of Tamil Nadu in July 2017. Both outbreaks were “successfully contained”, the government said.
The latest cases – in the middle of the country’s festival season where many Indians travel, increasing the risk of transmission – come amid a spike in other mosquito-borne diseases, that kill thousands across India each year, according to the World Health Organisation.
English Premier League football club Chelsea have put plans for a major stadium redevelopment on hold amid continued uncertainty over billionaire Russian owner Roman Abramovich’s ability to obtain a UK visa.
Chelsea had been planning an extensive redevelopment of their Stamford Bridge stadium, including increasing the capacity to 60,000.
The news comes amid UK visa issues for billionaire Chelsea owner Abramovich, who has had his permission to enter the country delayed by the British authorities.
The case has been linked by many to the fallout over the poisoning of former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the town of Salisbury.
The UK has accused Moscow over the incident, and has vowed to crack down on ‘dirty’ Russian money entering the country. The Kremlin has denied involvement in the case, and has branded as “unfair competition” any potential UK steps to target Russian money.
Abramovich is reported to have personally taken the decision to suspend plans for the stadium and is said to be unwilling to invest further finances in the UK while his ability to work in the country is uncertain.
Roman Abramovich has personally taken the decision to put #Cfc stadium on hold after being denied a UK Visa. Unwilling to invest over £1billion into a country where he is not permitted to work.
It was revealed this week that the billionaire Russian businessman had been granted Israeli citizenship, and there are reports that he could withdraw his application for a UK investor visa.
Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003, and proceeded to plow millions into the development of the team.
His tenure as owner has brought a string of success to the club, including five Premier League titles, the Champions League title in 2012, and a Europa League triumph in 2013.
The development of the new stadium was seen as essential for Chelsea in their plans to compete with their main rivals, especially in terms of matchday revenue.
The club was aiming to complete the stadium in 2021 and was considering a move to Wembley Stadium during the redevelopment period, although that move may have been affected by the recent bid from US businessman Shahid Khan to buy the national stadium.
UK delays Abramovich visa renewal – is this Britain’s threatened Russia crackdown?
