ASIC should investigate Banking Royal Commission leak
Greens Treasury spokesperson, Senator Peter Whish-Wilson, commented today on suspicions of insider trading on the morning of Monday 4 February 2019 based on a leak of the final report of the Hayne Royal Commission.
Senator Whish-Wilson said, "ASIC is best placed to investigate whether there was any illegal market activity.
"At Senate Estimates, in two weeks’ time, I will be asking ASIC about this issue.
"Unlike any internal investigation by Treasury, ASIC can and should be able to identify who made large volume trades on Monday morning.
