A silver anniversary
It is well-known that Outsider is always up for a celebration, so he is breaking out the champers for an unusual anniversary noted by the Senate Estimates committee.
Appearing before the committee, Australian Securities and Investments Committee chair, Joe Longo, temporarily paused proceedings to make an announcement.
What could be so important to warrant an interruption to important Government proceedings, Outsider wondered?
The answer, he discovered, was that this session was the 25th appearance by ASIC commissioner, Cathie Armour, in front of the committee, her silver anniversary one might say.
“This will be the 25th Senate Estimates appearance since her appointment in 2013. I thought I should mark the occasion by recognising her service to ASIC and her dedication to making our financial system fair, strong and efficient,” said Longo.
In fact, it turned out Armour was ending things on a round number as that session would be her final appearance.
Outsider wishes the commissioner well and thanks her for her service.
