    "Notice Water Wheel 42% was lodged also today pursuant a 2006 amsla"

    So this would be the line of questioning that ANZ will face:

    QC: So ANZ, why didn't you submit a substantial shareholder notice in 2006?
    ANZ: Ahhh...we didn't think we had to
    QC: So you didn't think you owned the stock?
    ANZ: Yes...we owned the stock...we just didn't know about the rule
    JUDGE: Pull the other one
    [ANZ now panic because ASIC are now threatening legal action]
    ANZ: Actually your honour, we didn't own the stock until we placed a charge over the Opes portfolio 7 days before sending imto receivership.
    QC: Therefore the charge is null and void since it was placed less than 6 months before receivership.
    ANZ: Actually on second thoughts..we didn't know we owned it until after we starting selling the portfolio.
    QC: Why is that?
    ANZ: Because we thought it was a margin lending agreement with Opes because the contract was too confusing.
