theitguy, IMO everyone who is anyone in finance reads HC at least occasionally, if only for laughs. Both political parties probably have a big presence here as intimated from the politics forum. ASIC certainly has log ins. Reporters also read these forums, certainly some ABC ones do as HC it oft mentioned.
Plenty of hooks into this behavior have been given on many stock threads over time. Nobody has picked up the ball to run with it.
And I just read that ASIC has stepped back yet again from making any changes to the way HFT is implemented.
There is big money behind the lobbyists arguing to keep the system the way it is.... for obvious reasons. ASIC is just spineless not to act in the public interest IMO.
