Summary
The Trade Practices Act is a piece of legislation that is constantly evolving to deal with the constantly evolving processes and practices of business – good and bad. Regardless of whether Telstra is privatised, or whether we get one or a hundred new TV channels or even abandon our TV sets for computer screens, the Trade Practices Act will continue, as it has done now for 30 years, to evolve with the economy to continue to protect and promote competition for the good of the Australian people.
