Subject:        Freedom of Information request - Letter to Chairman -
Inquiry into the Life Insurance Industry

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Australian Securities and Investments Commission,

In a media report in August 2016 the following statement was made
concerning Senator Williams:

“Williams, whose re-election to the upper house was this week confirmed,
told Fairfax Media that he would relaunch the Senate inquiry into life
insurance that was announced before the election – but would broaden it to
look at life insurance deals in super and the role of trustees.”

This statement prompted a letter dated 22 August 2016 to be sent to the
Chairman of ASIC with the title "Senate Inquiry - New Terms of Reference".

The Executive Summary of this letter commenced:

-                 The Parliament of South Australia has confirmed the
widows’ entitlement to a death benefit under the terms of one of
Australia’s oldest superannuation schemes;
-                 Two Members of Parliament of South Australia executed
one of the Deeds providing pensions to widows along with a mentor to Mr
Rupert Murdoch;

I now seek a copy of this letter to ensure that this letter has not been
lost or misfiled by ASIC.

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney
