The Greens will support the Competition and Consumer Amendment (Unfair Trading Practices) Bill 2026 because it does improve protections for consumers, but I have to say this is a classic Labor piece of legislation: do the bare minimum necessary to address an issue and leave a whole bunch of reforms that should urgently be implemented on the table, leave them behind and kick them off into the never-never. I listened closely to Senator Darmanin's speech and I agree with the overwhelming majority of what Senator Darmanin said—but, goodness me, there's an elephant in the room here, colleagues, isn't there? It's a giant elephant that nobody wants to talk about.
