Former Australian Securities and Investments Commission chairman James Shipton says ASIC commissioners are immune from the rules of ordinary employment and should be subject to greater oversight and more easily dismissed.
ASIC chairman Joe Longo, with deputy Karen Chester at a parliamentary hearing last week, will be hauled back again on Wednesday.
Karen Chester is the last one standing among Daniel Crennan and James Shipton, former ASIC commissioner and chairman.“Unlike other ASIC staff, who are governed by employment contracts that ... incorporate codes of conduct, commissioners do not have employment contracts. It is also unclear, as a matter of employment law, to whom commissioners, deputy chairs, and chairs ‘report’ to,” he says.

Super reforms to affect ‘so few people’ compared to introduction of GSTSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says the recent superannuation reform “affects so few people” compared to the introduction of GST. “The legislation could pass in this Senate, and Peter Dutton could win, and he doesn’t have the Senate, so you can’t overturn it,” Mr Clennell told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “I think they’ll probably get away with it, to be honest. “I just don’t think it carries the same weight as WorkChoices and GST.” He's a bright boy, that Clennell.

Simple, honest but the Murdoch's and Liberals opposed it with a barrage of lies and spin. You ended up spinning yourself out of auspol votes. Wait. It will apply to more and more the longer this crappy government is in power. That’s guaranteed!
