According to information obtained through a Freedom of Information request, after Mr Savundra and Ms Chester discussed the appointment, the following day Mr Savundra sent an email and separate letter to Mr Crennan.
The next week, Mr Crennan and Mr Savundra communicated by email in regards to the EverBlu appointment, which occurred two weeks after Mr Crennan resigned from ASIC. However, all communications were barred from release by ASIC because of concerns about privacy and legal professional privilege. Mr Crennan is no longer an ASIC commissioner and, as a private citizen, there is a diminished public benefit in the release of this information, an ASIC lawyer said.
