Dear Mr Witham
It is ironic that you write to me nearly two months after I lodged my Report of Misconduct and you include the words; "For matters involving our market supervision, we are aware that any public comment may affect trading in the market, and we are committed to a fair, orderly, and transparent market".
My Report of Misconduct boils down to market manipulation brought about by non-disclosure by the Genex board, including its J - Power employed director, of financial information concerning K2H and the $610 concessional loan to Genex by NAIF.
Your letter does not mention the words Goldman Sachs, Takeovers Panel, Foreign Investment Review Board or the ministers responsible for the NAIF Act.
It is as if the Report of Misconduct does not exist and the conflicts of interest and market manipulation by the Genex board, including its J - Power employed director, can be completely ignored by ASIC?
There always was another, perhaps bigger issue involved with the Genex/J-Power "bid". As ASIC well knows but has chosen to ignore. It is the question of the NAIF loan to Genex.
ASIC has allowed the takeover to proceed, (even granting a time extension), as if all parties should ignore the issues that have been raised with ASIC.
I am waiting for a NSW Case Number from Geread Dooley, (MinterEllison), before sending a letter to NAIF's Chief Legal Officer. Mr Chris Collins, and others, about this pivotal issue.
Let us see if ASIC repeats the behaviour, (involving lack of public integrity), of various parties involved in the attempt, by Skip Capital, to takeover Genex in 2022 and thereby secure the NAIF loan?
Yours sincerely
HLP

Dear Mr Yanco
Seems the buck ends with you Mr Yanco on the Report of Misconduct; although I guess you can flick it to Chairman Longo and the Commission?
There are a multitude of disturbing issues surrounding this takeover. Far more than I care to mention; yet again.
One issue which comes to mind is; "why will NAIF not say if the Minister for Northern Australia, the Hon Madeleine King, has been comprehensively briefed by Chairperson, Tracey Hayes, particularly about the "SECRET " loan"?
I wonder if this question has been asked by anybody in ASIC?
Yours sincerely
HLP
