The Dutch Construction Cartel
This is a series of four videos produced by the current affairs program Zembla and Voiceover by Marc Chase. The abstract reads as follows: 'Their first 2001 report exposed widespread collusion in the Dutch construction sector. It instigated a Parliamentary Inquiry in 2002-2003. Many companies admitted involvement, but argued their "monopoly money" system was accepted business practice. Several leading politicians and high officials were implicated. Antitrust damages were thought to amount to billions of euros. Over 1400 companies were eventually sanctioned by the Netherlands Competition Authority (NMa), but also many of them received substantial leniency discounts. Key players in business, public administration and politics were promoted. In contrast, the main whistle blower, Ad Bos, was prosecuted by the state and today lives in a camper van. '
Harper Review Australia
In 2014-2015 a major independent review of Australian competition law and policy is being conducted - see Harper Review page.
As part of this process the Review Panel has released a number of videos explaining aspects of the review.
A number of firms released video commentary on the draft and final reports. See, for example:
Video Introduction to the Harper Report by Fiona Crosbie (16 April 2016)
David Brewster and Phillip Williams, YouTube debate on proposed MMP provisions (8 October 2014) (on draft report)
Miscellaneous
Many of these involve competition-relevant economic concepts explained in simple terms. I make no comment about the accuracy or usefulness of the videos - there are many more similar videos available on youtube - competition law students may find them useful.
