Make ASX restore access to announcements back to 1998

Make ASX restore access to announcements back to 1998

The issue

ASX have created a new website which only allows access to company announcements back to 2015. Beyond that you have to pay. Canada has an independent provider of listed company information which is free to the public and goes back to the 1990's. We should have one too and not be subject to rip-offs by monopolies, especially where the disclosure of that information is overseen by ASIC, not ASX. 

This is another assault on the provision of cost effective (read FREE) corporate information to Australian investors, researchers and investigators, which helps corporate miscreants hide their misdemeanours. 

Help to take the first steps in restoring access to information via ASX which was available prior to Monday 12th October 2020. Then take the steps to take that responsibility from ASX and establish our own Government funded, free of charge, database like Canada's Sedar.
