SYDNEY, April 8 AAP - Main stories in the ABC's World Today:

* Treasurer Wayne Swan has warned the nation's banks to pass on the Reserve Bank's
interest rate cut in full.

* The latest report on the mortgage industry certainly does not support the big four
banks' claims that they can't afford to pass on the interest rate cut.

* A former Optus executive says that despite Telstra's relaxed public demeanour over
the government taking over the national broadband network, in private the telco will be
fuming.
