Competition Policy Review
CHOICE submission on the Issues paper
CHOICE
CHOICE makes 26 recommendations, including either removing price signalling laws or applying them universally (recommendation 17), conducting regular independent reviews of ACCC merger decisions (recommendation 15), giving consideration to simplifying competition laws and processes (recommendation 16), repealing s 51(3) of the Act (axing the 'Australia tax') (recommendation 3) and, generally, recommending that any future policy reform agenda 'prioritise consumer welfare as its overarching objective' (recommendation 1).
