ACCC Chairman Rod Sims has outlined the Commission's
compliance and enforcement priorities for 2015. The top priorities
include:
- monitoring truth in advertising
- improving online businesses' responsiveness to consumer
complaints about either the product itself or delivery
- advocating for the court to impose penalties at a level which
achieves both specific and general deterrence, and
- release of industry codes, for example the introduction of a
Code of Conduct to address unfair practices in the grocery
sector.
