The licence fields are from ASIC's AFS Licensee dataset on data.gov.au, published under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia licence.

Brokerage is the standard online rate for one ASX trade; it changes without notice and some brokers price differently for frequent traders, other settlement accounts or phone orders. This is reference data, not advice about which broker to use.",
