The Coalition government did formally loosen corporate financial disclosure standards in response to COVID-19 through the **Corporations (Coronavirus Economic Response) Determination (No. 2) 2020**, which came into effect on **26 May 2020** [1][2].

The key modification changed the continuous disclosure standard in sections 674, 675, and 677 of the Corporations Act by shifting from an **objective test to a subjective test** [1].
具體ㄐㄩˋ ㄊㄧˇ jù tǐ 而言ㄦˊ ㄧㄢˊ ér yán
Specifically: - **Before:** Information must be disclosed if "a reasonable person" would expect it to have a material effect on the price or value of the company's securities (objective test) - **After:** Information only requires disclosure if the entity "knows or is reckless or negligent" as to whether it would have a material effect (subjective test requiring proof of fault) [2][4] This change was not merely administrative deadline extension but a substantive modification to liability standards.

The permanent amendment explicitly embedded the fault element (knowledge, recklessness, or negligence) into section 674A of the Corporations Act specifically for private litigants (class actions) [6].

The claim states the rules "prevented investors from lodging class actions." This is inaccurate.
這是ㄓㄜˋ ㄕˋ zhè shì ㄅㄨˋ 準確ㄓㄨㄣˇ ㄑㄩㄝˋ zhǔn què ㄉㄜ˙ de
Investors can still lodge class actions; the changes made it **harder and more expensive** to succeed in claims based on **omitted information** [7].

Specifically: - Investors can still sue if companies made **false statements**; the fault element does not apply to active misrepresentation [7][8] - Investors can still lodge class actions about omissions; they must now prove that directors were "negligent or reckless" about whether information was material [6][8] - Proving directors' negligence about omitted information requires discovery into board processes and deliberations, increasing litigation costs [7]

Legal commentators noted that the temporary relief was "likely to be ineffective" because [7]: - Companies making **false statements** already faced liability under section 1041H (misleading or deceptive conduct) without any fault requirement - The relief only helped companies that omitted information entirely, not those that made inaccurate disclosures - The practical impact was narrower than the relief's scope suggested This is critical: the claim's framing of "mislead the market through omission of important information" is accurate regarding what the relief targeted, but not about prevention of litigation—it made such litigation more difficult, not impossible.

Notably, ASIC's media releases during 2020 show the regulator actually wanted **more** disclosure of COVID-related impacts, not less [9][10].

ASIC specifically emphasized that entities should prominently disclose: - Significant COVID-related support amounts received - Government assistance details (JobKeeper, tax relief, loan deferrals) - Asset value impacts from pandemic effects - Business risks and uncertainties [9][10] ASIC's regulatory focus suggests the relaxation was intended to provide breathing room during extreme uncertainty, not to facilitate non-disclosure.

The Australian Financial Review (AFR) is a **mainstream, credible news organization** with a track record of business and financial reporting [11].
AFRAFR AFR
AFR: - Is owned by Nine Entertainment (a major Australian media company) - Employs specialized financial and political journalists - Has reputation for detailed business reporting (though paywalled content may reflect their subscription model) - The headline framing ("companies-get-an-extension-to-shield-against-class-actions") is editorial commentary, reflecting AFR's interpretation of the policy's impact **Assessment:** AFR is a reputable source, but the article is reporting on government policy implementation during crisis period.

1. **Independent Review:** Labor appointed independent reviewer Kevin Lewis to assess whether the 2021 Amendment was working as intended [12] 2. **Bifurcated Approach:** Rather than fully repealing the 2021 Amendment, Labor: - **Repealed the fault element for ASIC enforcement** (so regulators can prosecute breaches without proving fault) [12] - **Retained the fault element for private litigants** (class actions remain subject to higher bar) [12] 3. **Result:** As of 2024, the structure remains: ASIC can pursue continuous disclosure cases easily, but class action plaintiffs must prove negligence about omitted information [12]

This suggests Labor accepted that the permanent class action restrictions have practical merit (reducing frivolous litigation costs for companies) while recognizing that regulatory enforcement should remain robust [12].

Labor did not make opposite changes; they made targeted refinements. **Conclusion:** Labor does not have a direct equivalent from their previous time in office.

The closest comparison is Labor's decision in 2023-2024 to **keep most of the restrictions in place** rather than fully restore pre-2020 standards, suggesting cross-party acceptance of some additional class action limitations.

Pandemic Context** In May 2020, when the Determination was implemented, Australia faced extreme uncertainty about: - COVID-19 transmission and health impacts (changing weekly) - Economic impact duration and severity - Supply chain disruptions - Lockdown duration and scope Directors faced genuine difficulties predicting what information would be "material" to investors when fundamental parameters were unknown.

By requiring investors to prove directors were negligent about materiality, the law places discovery burden on plaintiffs rather than requiring companies to justify non-disclosure [6][7][8].

Comparison to Other Jurisdictions** The US continuous disclosure regime (Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5) requires scienter (intent/knowledge) but is interpreted more broadly than the Australian requirement [citations would require US securities law research]. **4.

The claim is factually correct that the Coalition loosened corporate financial disclosure rules during the pandemic with the effect of reducing class action liability exposure.

However, the characterization requires clarification: 1. **What's Accurate:** The Coalition did loosen rules in May 2020 specifically to reduce class action risk; the changes were made permanent in August 2021; they do specifically affect litigation by investors over omitted information [1][2][5] 2. **What's Oversimplified:** The rules don't "prevent investors from lodging class actions"—they make omission-based class actions more difficult by requiring plaintiffs to prove negligence.

Investors can still sue; litigation is more costly [6][7][8] 3. **What's Missing:** The permanent implementation in August 2021 was a deliberate policy choice unrelated to pandemic response, expanding the relief's scope beyond crisis circumstances [5].

Labor's 2023-2024 review kept restrictions in place, suggesting cross-party acceptance [12] **The most accurate restatement of the claim:** "The Coalition temporarily loosened continuous disclosure rules during the pandemic (May 2020), making it harder (but not impossible) for investors to lodge class actions specifically over omitted information.

    Jones Day - ASIC Enforcement of Australia's Continuous Disclosure Regime Gets a Boost

    <div><p>The Australian federal government recently issued its response to the "report of the independent review of the changes to the continuous disclosure laws" prepared by Dr Kevin Lewis (Independent Review). In its response, the government accepted the key recommendations of the Independent Review, with the market now awaiting details of the introduction of amending legislation by the government, including likely timing.</p><p><strong>Recap of the Independent Review</strong></p><p>The government, as required under the <em>Corporations Act 2001</em> (Cth), commissioned the Independent Review into the changes introduced into Australia's continuous disclosure regime back in 2021, under the <em>Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No.1) Act 2021 </em>(Cth). The changes were expressly stated to be intended to reduce the incidence of opportunistic class actions against ASX-listed companies accused of not keeping the market informed of price sensitive information. The key aspect of the amendments was to introduce a fault element into the continuous disclosure laws, which meant that it was a requirement for a plaintiff or regulator to demonstrate that a disclosing entity or its officers had acted with either knowledge, recklessness or negligence, in breaching their continuous disclosure obligations for civil liability actions.</p><p>Despite commenting that the two-year review period since the changes was insufficient to draw meaningful evidence-based conclusions on many matters included in the Terms of Reference, the Independent Review made six recommendations—with the government subsequently announcing its support for four of the recommendations, and noting the remaining two.</p><p><strong>Primary Recommendations Arising From the Independent Review</strong></p><p>The government agreed with the following primary recommendations:</p><ul><li>Removal of the requirement that ASIC needs to prove in civil penalty proceedings for a breach of continuous disclosure laws that the disclosing entity acted knowingly, recklessly or negligently; and</li><li>Retention "for the time being" of the requirement that private litigants in civil compensation proceedings need to provide that the disclosing entity acted knowingly, recklessly or negligently. </li></ul><p><strong>Disclosing Entities Must Maintain a Strong Focus on Compliance With Their Continuous Disclosure Obligations—Removal of the "Fault Element" Coupled With ASIC's Enforcement Focus Could Lead to an Increase in ASIC Actions</strong></p><p>One of the primary findings of the Independent Review was that the 2021 Amendments have had, and are likely to continue to have, a negative impact on ASIC's enforcement of the continuous disclosure laws.</p><p>In its submission to the Independent Review, ASIC remarked that, in the context of issuing infringement notices, the need to ultimately prove the "fault element" (as part of bringing civil penalty proceedings for contravening conduct when an infringement notice penalty is not paid) was likely to reduce ASIC's appetite to use infringement notices for contraventions of continuous disclosure. Accordingly, the recommended removal of the "fault element" may encourage ASIC to increase its issuance of infringement notices.</p><p>The key takeaway of the removal of the fault element, if this recommendation is given effect by legislative changes, is that ASIC will be able to pursue enforcement action (including civil penalty proceedings) for unintentional or inadvertent breaches of Australia's continuous disclosure laws. It is therefore critical that disclosing entities renew their focus on their continuous disclosure obligations and related policies and processes.</p><p>Finally, companies, directors and officers should have regard to the proposed release in early 2025 of the <em>ASX Corporate Governance Council's fifth edition Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations</em>, which also makes recommendations in relation to continuous disclosure policy and process matters.</p><p><strong>Practical Effect of the 2021 Amendments on Continuous Disclosure-Related Class Actions Remains Undecided—"Fault Element" Retained (for Now)</strong></p><p>In its response, the government noted that a diversity of views were expressed and submissions received during the consultation period for the Independent Review. In that context, the Independent Review observed that the 2021 Amendments have had, and are likely to continue to have, little (if any) impact on the number and types of continuous disclosure class actions against disclosing entities and that meritorious continuous disclosure class actions are still likely to proceed.</p><p>The government agreed with the recommendation to retain—for the time being—the requirement for private litigants to prove the "fault element" in continuous disclosure-related class actions. </p><p>Given the comment that the review period was too short to discern any pattern arising from the 2021 Amendments in the number of continuous disclosure class actions, we expect the government to continue monitoring the situation for the emergence of any negative effect as a result of class action filings on disclosure standards. We expect both proponents and defendants of class actions to put forward different perspectives on the statistics and (any) causal links. </p><p><strong>Climate-Related Financial Disclosures Remain in Focus</strong></p><p>The consultation process for the Independent Review flushed out some concerns between the interplay between the 2021 Amendments and potential class action risks arising from the mandatory climate-related reporting requirements, particularly in relation to the forward-looking statements required by that regime. </p><p>The government's response to the Independent Review said that it had considered the implications of Recommendations 1 and 2 (as set out above) as part of its process to implement the climate-related disclosure legislation. The key point for companies, directors and officers is that they should remain alive to the prospect of enforcement action by ASIC utilizing the continuous disclosure regime, as well as other legislative provisions, in relation to their climate-related disclosures, once that regime comes into effect (which is expected to occur from 1 January 2025). The retention of the fault element for private litigants will provide some assistance to companies who may find themselves defending those claims, as will the transitional modified liability regime for private actions included in the incoming climate-related disclosure legislation.</p></div>
