ASIC are more concerned with things like "culture" and "climate change" rather the bully boy tactics of a rogue organisation. Obviously not sexy enough.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE COMPANIES CAN DO NO WRONG.tHIS WHOLE THING HAS BEEN A SET UP FROM THE START TO REGAIN THE GROUND LOST WHEN LISENSING WAS ESTABLISHED.
Imagine the shock they got when sudenly they found themselves paying commission on every case any one still in the business had ever written for them, when they used to just dismiss us if we did give them the amount of business they thought was enough. AMP was the worst closed shop imaginable. They had keys to agents locked offices. I know one case where the manager of the group entered an agent's locked office, found evidence that he was looking at other companies and when he got back to the office ALL his belongings were out on the front entrance. ASIC was a tired little bunch of public servants then. What is it now?
