I think it's fairly clear now, but how do we assess? How does the ACCC play a role in assessing whether the contribution of these deals is making a significant contribution if those standard offers are assessed by the ACCC only if the code is enlivened? How do we know that these standard offers are fair at all or that they might be fair to those who sign them but come at the expense of the sustainability of businesses that haven't had the opportunity or have been refused a standard offer?
