A blast from the past:  May 2017 HC post 24936048.  Was actually searching for a copy of a recent post re Select All and Craig Mason when this 'surfaced'.

My opinion  - IMO and BOO -
Typically and generally speaking - unsubstantiated and bullying attacks against successful companies and/or identities and/or individuals are euphemistically described as Australia's 'want' to cut down tall poppies - the tall poppy syndrome - which only serves to erroneously excuse, explain and at times exonerate the unchallenged and damaging, often unwarranted, unsubstantiated behaviour/actions against aspiring and/or emergent/ and or successful others.  Bullies and attackers'  historically have not been challenged in Australia and their code of conduct has flourished in all aspects of our society.  Look how we accept that 9EC's defamation of companies and individual reputations in Australia is permitted as it remains unchallenged and continues.  One example only - view Joe Aston (a search on google Joe Ashton [sic] publishing an article on SA and referencing Adelaide and Snowtown).  Then revisit Joe's published and endorsed 9EC media articles re ISX to date.  No-one is holding Joe accountable for his published ______ - I can't think of a polite word to describe his 'stories?'

In this and many other instances, ASX, 9EC et al actions against ISX to date, are very similar to many others' experiences.  Australia is once again damaging one of its most viable prospects - ISX [due to what and why and by whom...we know the how or do we?].

No-one is intervening or attempting to prevent and stop ASX from bullying and/or damaging ISX entirely.  What a pity ASX don't realise that their own actions - ASX's - are also damaging ASX's reputation plus the reputation of Australian regulatory authorities and many elements of Federal Government. For what reason the sustained and inexplicable attacks against ISX?  Why are we waiting to hear the reason from ASX  for ISX's trading suspension nearly a year later?  Why hasn't ASIC intervened?

Who can intervene to prevent ASX believing that they [they being the currently employed ASX individuals and board members] - have total control and autonomy.  An autonomy which ASX APPEAR to believe permits and/or allows them continue to act as though they do not have to fear any regulatory or governmental intervention - or be the subject of any compliance review re ethics, transparency and fair code of conduct?

There is nothing listed or detailed in the ASX annual reports which reveals the extent of ASX employees, executives or Board members shareholdings from year to year.  There is also no statement in any ASX document which states that ASX employees and/or executives and or board members alert others and/or absent themselves from discussions regarding potentially conflicting interests.  In fact it states the opposite, all are provided with documents whether they are present or not.   Can post the links from here from the ASX annual reports but have in the past.  I can substantiate this claim using ASX references.

I can't believe the arrogance of the ASX and especially since the outcomes of the Banking RC.

Do contact others.  We may be surprised - someone might actually lift ASX's knee off ISX's throat.  Or at least explain to us, why ASX's knee is there and why ASIC have remained silent apart from ASIC informing ISX that they did not seek the suspension of ISX shares.   Typical schoolyard bullying behaviour but this is not a schoolyard....this is ASX and ASIC and this is a national and international arena.
