The Federal Government has decided to introduce an "effects test" to competition law. The Business Council of Australia opposes the "effects test", but the new policy is supported by other organisations, including the Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission and the Australian Industry Group. Wesfarmers CEO Richard Goyder expressed his disappointment with the decision at "The Australian Financial Review" Business Summit.
