@Marketinfo @OilWatcher
In case you don't know about it there is a Senate Committee set to report on financial and technology regulatory matters, for Oct 2020. Submissions are due Dec 31. More detail at
https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Financial_Technology_and_Regulatory_Technology
There is also a petition on related matters to this thread topic with change.org which may interest you

In 2013 the issue of shorting was placed before a Senate inquiry with no apparent consequence (see below).

May i suggest that you approach ASIC with a complaint that trading <you favourite cases> should be investigated for evidence of price manipulation.

The 2013 Inquiry material is available at:

Attachment 3 is a little hard to find (apparently originally withheld)
