| Bluntly put, governor’s motives are a mystery
The most frequent question I got last week: What's the real story behind Gov. Matt Blunt's astonishing about-face on running for re-election? And here's the honest truth: I don't know. I've tried to find out. I've dialed more digits in the last four days than a desperate politician in search of campaign dollars. I've reached a conclusion: No one knows. No one, save for Blunt himself and immediate family members. But given the length of the skid marks Blunt applied to his fast-moving re-election bid, there are lots of reasons to believe that some other explanation exists beyond the rationale that Blunt laid out Wednesday. That rationale, you may recall, was this: I've accomplished all that I set out to do. I look forward to having more time with my wife and toddler son.

Superannuation clearing houses and electronic payment facilities
A non-cash payment (NCP) facility is a facility through which a person (the client) can make a payment, or cause a payment to be made, otherwise than through the physical delivery of Australian or foreign currency: see s763D. As part of the regulatory regime, persons providing financial services in relation to NCP facilities are subject to the licensing, conduct and disclosure provisions of the Corporations Act.
The Corporations Act and Corporations Regulations 2001 exclude certain payment facilities from being financial products, and certain providers from providing a financial service. Our policy statement In November 2005, ASIC published its policy on how it would regulate NCP facilities under the Corporations Act: see Policy Statement 185 Non-cash payment facilities [PS 185] and Information Release [IR 05-60] ASIC adopts a flexible approach to the regulation of non-cash payment facilities.
