Senator Xenophon, I understand that the ACCC are going to be developing guidance to deal with concerns raised by those who might be impacted, under this legislation, by the sort of situation that you raise. It is something that the government has been aware of. The guidance from the ACCC will be about how consumers can challenge concerns in that regard. So it is something that has been thought about. The ACCC are giving attention to it now, in anticipation of the legislation. I think the answer is that we intend to deal with it that way rather than through the blanket provision that you propose via the amendment.
