Minister for Financial Services Kelly O'Dwyer has announced Cathie Armour's reappointment as a full-time member of ASIC.

Ms Armour is directly responsible for financial markets infrastructure and market integrity enforcement, and has overseen the regulator's investigation into BBSW manipulation.

ASIC has alleged employees of ANZ, NAB and Westpac manipulated the BBSW and is currently embroiled in court cases against all three banks.
