I'm not aware of the Prime Minister's—in relation to the specifics of the question, I can't answer that, but I can answer that we, the government, are not looking at divestiture powers at this stage. That is not in our thinking.

As to the reviews that are being sought or put in place, the ACCC is a highly effective organisation that has strong consumer backing. It has strong powers. It has the ability to call for information, as you know from our discussions with the chair of the ACCC at estimates. I think we should await their work—alongside the work that Dr Emerson is doing and the work that Dr Andrew Leigh is leading, through the government.
