Dear Australian Securities and Investments Commission,
The Treasury is conducting a Review of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority and the terms of reference include "1.2 Are AFCA's processes for the identification and appropriate response to systemic issues arising from complaints effective"?
Evidence has been provided to David Locke of a systemic issue that relates to a majority of National Australia Bank's Australian Staff who were unlawfully transferred from a top-10 performing "not-for-profit" staff superannuation fund into the poor performing"for-profit" MLC Super Fund.
This transfer was in contravention of the governing rules of the fund and in contravention of superannuation laws.
David Locke has a duty to report this systemic misconduct to ASIC (as well as APRA).
The document (or documents I seek) are copies of any correspondence from David Locke (or AFCA) to ASIC that would confirm that David Locke has complied with his duty to report systemic misconduct to ASIC.
Yours faithfully,
Phillip Sweeney

Dear Krystal Fung,
Given the nature of my FOI request, if David Locke was to comply with his statutory duty with respect to a systemic matter that might involve many thousand employees of the National Australia Bank, David Locke would bring this matter to the attention of the ASIC Chairman who was James Shipton until 1 June 2021 and then Joseph Longo since 1 June 2021.
I revise the scope of my request to copies of any correspondence from David Locke to the incumbent Chairman of ASIC since 26 March 2021.
Yours sincerely,
Phillip Sweeney
Dear Krystal Fung,
I amend my request to a copy or copies of correspondence from David Locke to James Shipton former Chairman of ASIC or to Joseph Longo current Chairman of ASIC from 26 March 2021 to the present.
I cannot imagine David Locke writing to the Chairman of ASIC more than once a month..
Yours sincerely,
Phillip Sweeney
