The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has been disheartened by some anonymous comments purportedly made by senior bankers to media. 9News
The head of Australia's corporate watchdog says comments to the media by unnamed senior bankers questioning the regulator's methods are "destructive" in the aftermath of the banking royal commission.
ASIC chair James Shipton has told a budget estimates hearing that the comments came less than 50 days after banking royal commissioner Kenneth Hayne handed down his final report. "It was very disheartening that within 50 days of this very important document, and almost universal support for the direction travelled within it, that we were getting this resistance and pushback," Mr Shipton told senators in Canberra on Wednesday.
