Australian companies operating domestically within Australia of course have all the protections of Australian law, underpinned by the constitutional protections that provide for a range of protections and scenarios. I don't believe there are any scenarios in which you could suggest that an investor into Australia received greater or preferential access to have a dispute settled than an Australian company with all the prerogatives of Australian domestic law available to them.
