Merger Reform: What next for Australia's TMT sector?

On 23 August 2023, the Government announced a Competition Review, to consider whether competition law in Australia remains fit for purpose in Australia’s modern economy.  The Review is being undertaken by a Competition Taskforce within Treasury, supported by an Expert Advisory Panel.  The first issue that the Taskforce has consulted on is merger reform, an area where the ACCC has long urged the Government to take action. 
 
The speakers at this event will consider the likely changes to Australia’s merger control laws, with an emphasis on the implications of those changes for the digital and telco, media and technology markets.
