I am investigating Australia's Worst White-Collar Crime that involves one of Australia's oldest Superannuation Funds that was once known as the Elders IXL Superannuation Fund. The Fraud associated with this Fund is being cover-up by Australian Public Servants and I am seeking documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 as evidence of this cover-up.
