TRADE PRACTICES LEGISLATION AMENDMENT BILL 2008 Consideration of Senate Message

October 16, 2009

The opposition is certainly of the view that the need to have recoupment provisions becomes redundant under the Birdsville amendment.

 There is no need to prove market power; the new definition has become the issue of market share. Whilst an ability to recoup costs after a competitor is removed from the market is a factor, certainly evidence of market power, under the Birdsville amendment that has become redundant.

Question agreed to.
