A submission to the Harper competition review panel by the Business Council of Australia has criticised proposed changes to regulations governing abuse of market power. The employer’s group argues that the reforms would create uncertainty, result in significant cost to the economy and could potentially lead to lengthy litigation. The Australian Industry Group and large corporations such as Telstra and Coles have also expressed concern about the proposed reforms
