    What does it mean by: "Changes to address potential anti-competitive local laws" ? Can you give an example?

    WhitAirlie asked over 4 years ago

    Hi WhitAirlie, 

    Thank you for your question. The Public Interest Test Plans outline the analysis of potential anti-competitive local laws, on pages 1 - 3. A table called 'Annexure A' at the very end of each document outlines the specific provisions. Please refer to the documents to answer your query as they are covered in specific detail here.

    Thanks, WRC Team
