Ann: Half Year Accounts, page-40

To me, all this banter for the last two years (and there has been some excellent reasoning) has been fuelled by a clever ASX smoke and mirror psy-op. Look over here not there! Just like the pandemic was never about health, the ISX saga was never about performance shares. We shifted from the original suspension based on share price volatility to JK is a crook and everything in between. What was cleverly averted by the ASX, at least to me, was the obvious reason - ISX was developing a platform that would take away the monopoly of the ASX. The ASX weren't going to allow that to happen. A bit like test, test, test to keep us all under control and perpetually locked down. Simple. Cheers.
