Australian Government releases exposure draft legislation amending Australia's Competition Laws and provides businesses the opportunity to make their final comments and suggestions
6 September 2016
On 5 September 2016 the Australian Government released exposure draft legislation which seeks to implement the majority of the wide-ranging competition law reforms recommended by the Competition Policy Review (Harper Review).
Businesses should consider how they might seek to respond to the proposed implementation of the Harper Review reforms as set out in the exposure draft legislation, as this is likely to be the final opportunity to comment on the appropriate formulation of reforms to Australia's competition laws, before they are introduced to Parliament.
