Can the ASX's attitude be turned in favour?

Hello fellow NKP ‘hang-tighters’.

I have begun to think more and more that we haven’t been targeting the ASX to the fullest effect in our attempt to hold them accountable.

In emailing “issuermisconduct etc” we are likely simply dealing with plebs, at one level or another? Does the process leading up to them issuing their not an ASX matter decree involve anyone above senior management level? That is, at Executive or Board level??

Certainly not I’d say!

So why not up the ante and start directing our disgust to higher levels? If Stevens, Lewis, Moran and Holliday-Smith, (below) start badgering the staff below them in ASX Compliance, chances are we can be sure then that they will assess our case most scrupulously against the legislation. If not already.

It’s too easy for ASX and ASIC types to brush us aside if they perceive us of nuisance value, or in this case as someone has posted, (but which I have not verified myself), NKP have threatened to sue ASX.

Any decision by ASX Compliance, made in the shadow of such an allegation, (if proven), could cast the validity of such decision into doubt until further rigorous testing was conducted.


Ironically, the ASX has a swag of independent directors, if emailing the above, include these as well; it isn’t hard to figure out their emails as per the above.

Further, there may be some point to “cc”ing communications with these ASX heavyweights to an Owen Rayner. [email protected]

I came across the emails in a document online; “ASX Ltd improper and unlawful conduct against XXXXX Mining NL”, an ASX listed resources company, dated earlier this year.

Rayner in his capacity as Senior Specialist at ASIC was involved. (I think Rayner is based in Perth), so I don’t know if David Vilensky has had dealings with him already.

Rayner had a background with Glencore Zinc and then Coal, before embarking on his current career.

M & A, Governance and Corporate Law are rated as his specialties.

At this point I have not run the above past X, as I suspect he and the groups’ leaders /advisors are moving on with matters, possibly seeing further pushing back against ASX as wasted resources.

Still, I’m interested in others thoughts here, and to those who are still drafting their own submissions to ASX, these extra contacts may help increase the pressure on them to be accountable.

I'm about to try it. Good luck.
