The competition watchdog has become more active in pursuing companies engaged in uncompetitive behaviour. The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission has imposed fines of $A45.7 million in total for breaches of cartel and competition laws since January 2016. This figure is rather surprising, considering that the commission found no evidence of the same offences and issued no fines at all in calendar 2015.
