Could I just indicate I am aware of the involvement of the ACCC on this issue and also the announced policy of a 'light touch' in relation to ACCC participation in the implementation. Frankly, I find that concerning. The ACCC should enforce the law. Its discretion as to whether it applies a heavy touch or a light touch worries me greatly. I would much prefer that we simply allow 12 months for the people affected by these contracts to adjust their operations and keep the ACCC's 'touch' out of the whole affair.
