There should be a government inquiry in to this to see who benefits from this scam.
Well, at the cost of issue/renewal, it's clearly not benefitting those who have pay for the (so-called) privilege.
So, I'd say the only ones who really benefit from the $$$s that have to be paid for the ASIC idiocy are the government and the issuers.
