Australian Associated Press CEO Bruce Davidson is the latest media industry executive to criticise the ABC’s push to gain content deals in the corporate sector. The public broadcaster recently secured a deal to replace AAP as the provider of syndicated news feeds to outdoor advertising group oOh!media. Davidson says AAP may have to retrench staff if it continues to lose contracts to the ABC. Meanwhile, One Nation has called for the ABC to increase the amount of content it produces that is aimed at regional and rural audiences.

The total turnover of retailer Coles during the September 2014 quarter grew 4% to reach $A9.2bn. Across the individual units of the Wesfarmers-owned group, sales at Bunnings were up 11%, those at Officeworks 8% and Kmart 2.9%. At the results presentation on 30 October 2014, Wesfarmers CEO Richard Goyder rejected claims by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission that Coles supermarkets were guilty of "unconscionable conduct" by pressuring grocery suppliers into making financial contributions
