JOINT CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

CENTURIA CAPITAL LIMITED
A single decision can change your life, and that's exactly what Centuria Capital joint chief executive Jason Huljich learned when he came to Australia in the 1990s. Eliza Bavin writes.
ASIC has a track-record of absolute failure in the area of consumer protection, there needs to be a change in focus from a reactive approach to a proactive approach. In this way schemes/scams such us Wattle, Heather Parry scheme, and off course Storm would have not got off the ground or at least the losses by investers would have been kept to a minimum. Instead of going on for years and years which in itself gives the scams/schemes more credibility.
As far as I am aware (and I have made enquiries) ASIC does not fall under any Ministerial portfolio, so who is eyeing ASIC?
