ASIC has reviewed market conditions and considers that the balance between market efficiency and potential systemic concern has now moved in favour of the ban being lifted. ASIC notes that the global financial crisis and global recession continues to place pressure on Australia’s markets. ASIC will not hesitate to reimpose the ban immediately (using its enhanced and clarified powers under the Corporations Short Selling Act 2008) and without consultation if it considers market conditions warrant such action.

As a krisflyer member, i just got this news in my email regarding singapore airline and flight centre.
As a valued KrisFlyer member, I am writing to inform you that as a result of a commercial impasse with Flight Centre, Singapore Airlines airfares might not be available for purchase through Flight Centre travel retail outlets.

Singapore Airlines is still committed to giving our customers great value fares. Singapore Airlines has agreements in place with other major travel agents, and our flights can be booked as per normal through all other travel agency groups, or online at singaporeair.com.au

Not sure what’s going on between FlightCentre and Singapore air in this case. Could be because flight centre is asking too much comission? anybody know what’s the real reason?
