We welcome feedback on a proposal to address unfair trading practices. We are considering amending the Australian Consumer Law to add:
- a general prohibition that is principles‑based
- specific prohibitions targeting certain unfair practices.
The paper also seeks information on the likely:
- benefits to consumers
- compliance costs for businesses.
This paper builds on an earlier consultation about the nature and extent of these practices in Australia.
