In relation to the ACCC's involvement, has the government considered ways that the ACCC's role could be strengthened—for example, by considering the fairness of the provision of standard offers by digital platforms? Who's going to assess whether they are decent offers or not? They're not yet inside the code, because that hasn't been enlivened through registration. Nevertheless, those standard offers will still need to be assessed in relation to strengthening sustainability.
