This FOI disclosure contains email correspondence from ASIC's Media Unit regarding a Citizens Party media release from October 2022 criticizing ASIC's complaint investigation rates. The release, triggered by the Sterling Income Trust collapse inquiry, argues ASIC investigates fewer than 1 percent of complaints and claims the regulator is difficult to engage for average investors. Independent economist John Adams is quoted discussing his experience pursuing an ASIC investigation into corporate misconduct, stating the process was arduous and expensive. The email chain shows ASIC's internal circulation of this external criticism through its website feedback mechanism to media staff, with minimal editorial comment. No regulatory outcomes, enforcement actions, or policy responses are documented in the disclosed excerpts.
