I understand your point(s)
@goforit99. ..... and years ago I was an activist for Amnesty and other orgs writing letters and emails to politicians and news services. I cannot disagree with you on your approach to this.
I found over years of experience that change occurs naturally from within as systems evolve. not from external influences. Hence China continues to lock people away for being "different" to their idea of what a good citizen should be (its actually worsened since the times of Li Peng in the 90s), while other nations have evolved towards greater freedoms. in time Xi Jinping will pass and other leaders will come and the dark days will pass despite all the letters we write.
At the present time however this is before the federal court and I believe this is where ISX has the best probability (only imo) of winning the case and then, after vindication, of being the change agent that is required here. ISX will grow and thrive and build a competitive bourse that will eventually unseat the incumbent ASX as the dominant, conservative operator of the Aus market.
Moreover, the Senate is holding its inquiry and submissions will be considered. Like many here, I've posted mine referring to the lack of competition and the need to adapt to changing technology and business needs for a more open transparency of operations and greater fairness, highlighting of course the disparity of treatment of the Big 4 and other companies.
But the Senate is a political animal and is subject to the greater influences of lobbyists. ....... this too will, one day, change. Elections and greater public desire for open transparency of operations and greater fairness in the functioning of democratically appointed officers, truly only Party apparatchiks, operatives and fund-raisers.
Meanwhile its my belief that ISX will win the case against ASX. Nothing else will bring change better than the success of ISX.
thanks for you rallying efforts, Scott.
