Why your views matter

One of our jobs as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is to assess whether an acquisition would have the effect, or be likely to have the effect, of substantially lessening competition in a market. If it would, it is prohibited under the Competition and Consumer Act. To help us understand the likely impact of the proposed acquisition, we invite you to answer some short questions about how you use hotels and bottle shops in the local area.
