Australian banks' investment in companies accused of land grab (Oxfam report, Apr 2014) - company responses

In April 2014, Oxfam Australia released the report "Banking on Shaky Grounds - Australia's big four banks and land grabs".  The report identifies four cases in Brazil, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea where Australia's largest four banks (ANZ Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, NAB, and Westpac) have allegedly funded, directly or indirectly, companies accused of land grabs, displacement, forced evictions, environmental damage and other human rights abuses.
