Dear Australian Securities and Investments Commission,

The Superannuation Legislation Amendment (Further MySuper and Transparency Measures) Act 2012 came into effect in 2014 and requires the trustees of regulated superannuation funds, schemes or trusts to make certain 'fund documents' publicly available for download for each fund administered by the trustee on the trustee's website.

This enactment added Section 29QB to the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993.

The document or documents I seek are a or copies copy of any 'Class Order' or Class Orders' Issued by ASIC that extended the compliance date beyond 2014

This FOI request does not relate to Section 29QC

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney

Dear Australian Securities and Investments Commission,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Australian Securities and Investments Commission's handling of my FOI request 'COVID-19 FOI Request - Class Orders'.

If a "Class Order" is a public document, then ASIC can direct the FIO Applicant to the website and provide the Class Order reference number so that the Applicant can access the specified Class Order if such a Class Order exists.

I am seeking an Internal Review to provide the Class Order reference number if the specified Class Order exists.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/c...

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney

Haydar Tuncer, Australian Securities and Investments Commission
