Federal regulatory watchdogs are under the spotlight, as the Australian Law Reform Commission puts together a report due to be tabled in Parliament before the end of the year.
A legal battle between the ACCC and Telstra has concluded today following a Federal Court ruling that a 2006 competition notice served by the watchdog is illegal.
update: The Federal Court has found the national competition regulator did not treat Telstra fairly when slugging the telco with a competition notice 12 months ago. The ACCC has expressed disappointment with the ruling.
Australia's competition watchdog has asked for submissions on whether changes made by Telstra to its wholesale ADSL broadband pricing plans justify removal of a notice alleging the telecommunications company was breaching competition rules.
Telstra has accused Kate Lundy of "deliberately misleading and misinforming to the public" over the company's use of pair gain technology.
