I fear a distant one, Senator. We are opposed to differential regulation as it creates market distortions and market-distorting regulations will eventually reduce the efficiency of markets and cost consumers more. Differences in fee structures based on market size will make comparison of products harder and will create confusion for consumers. The coalition favours a level playing field where consumers are able to select between products with certainty and clarity.
