Dear Australian Prudential Regulation Authority,

In 2006 APRA registered a superannuation fund then known as the Foster's Group Superannuation Fund.

APRA would have obtained copies of the Deeds of this fund as part of the fund registration process. The purported trustee at the time was CCSL Ltd {Corporate Combined Superannuation Limited}

ASIC has made representations to the effect that in 2009 to 2010 ASIC made "comprehensive inquiries" with APRA in relation to a complaint that the widows of male fund members of the Foster's Group Superannuation Fund were not being paid their death benefits in accordance with the founding Trust Deed as lawfully amended.

The documents I seek are copies of any correspondence from ASIC dated between 1 March 2009 and 31 December 2010 to APRA making any such inquiries related to this fund where the words "death benefits" or "widows" or "survivorship pensions" are mentioned.

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney
