Dear Australian Prudential Regulation Authority,

Misrepresentations have been made by ASIC officers to both the Commonwealth Ombudsman and to a former Chair of the HR Standing Committee on Economics that my "primary concern" in complaints lodged with the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal and then later with ASIC on the recommendation of APRA was along the following lines:

"My primary concern in this complaint is that I suspect that the trustee of my superannuation fund made a mistake in determining my Final Average Salary (FAS) when determining a lump sum superannuation defined benefit {'payout'} provided to me in January 2007".

That is I was making a complaint that applied to only one fund member (myself) and that my 'primary concern' did not apply to the management of the fund as a whole {ie Section 14(6) of the Superannuation (Resolution of Complaints) Act 1993}

This representation of my 'primary concern' by ASIC Officers is rebutted by a letter dated 5 November 2010 {APRA ref: APRA08/004080) and the attached file note of a phone discussion with Mr Phil McGrath from the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal {SCT} sent to Ms Thea Rosenbaum (APRA) by myself.

The documents I seek are a copy of this letter to APRA and a copy of the attached file note from the SCT.

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney
