=================
Out of the above, only SUB 282 is on the Investor side with this conclusion:
"The civil and criminal provisions under the Corporations Act (that were supposedly drafted to pursue criminal contraventions) are incapable of being used because of their cumbersome drafting and high onus of proof1. To my knowledge, there have been no prosecutions under section 601ED of the Corporations Act, even though millions of elderly investors have lost funds in fraudulent circumstances under these schemes. The entire managed investment chapters and contraventions need reform. As we have seen, this area is a recipe for disaster and does not protect investor interests." Sub 282
While from one of the rest, the bloodied Investor gets his dubious protection with this:
"An effective regulator working constructively with professions and stakeholders to identify
and respond to systemic or subversive risks is the least investors should expect for their tax
dollar. Yet, like those relying on the little boy who cried wolf, the real dangers facing investors may be missed or obscured by ASIC's ongoing affectations.
Alex Malley is the chief executive of CPA Australia sub 209

Hmmm, ".... the real dangers facing investors may be missed or obscured by ASIC's ongoing affectations".
Any ideas "affectations" with whom?
I am slowly going through the rest of Corporate inputs for further surprises.
