Poll shows two-thirds of Australians oppose Singapore takeover of ASX

The Sydney Morning Herald, 28 Dec 2010
TWO-THIRDS of Australians oppose the Singapore Stock Exchange's proposed takeover of the Australian Stock Exchange. Coalition supporters are even more against the move than Labor voters.
A poll by UMR Research shows 62 per cent of Labor voters and 71 per cent of Coalition voters oppose the venture, an even higher level than the 65 per cent of Greens opponents.
The emphatic result is likely to cast deeper doubt over the chances of the federal Parliament giving the approval required if the government does seek the necessary regulatory change to lift the 15 per cent ownership cap on the ASX. Full story
