COMPETITION AND CONSUMER ACT 2010 - SECT 187

Application of amendments

    The amendments made by Part   2 of Schedule   1 to the Treasury Laws Amendment (More Competition, Better Prices) Act 2022 apply in relation to offences committed on or after the commencement of that Schedule.

  This Part sets up a system for regulating international liner cargo shipping services.

  The main components of that system are as follows:

  (a)   registration of conference agreements;

  (b)   regulation of non - conference ocean carriers with substantial market power;

  (c)   regulation of unfair pricing practices;

  (d)   registration of agents of ocean carriers.

  The parties to a conference agreement relating to international liner cargo shipping services may apply for the registration of the agreement.

  If the conference agreement is registered, the parties will be given partial and conditional exemptions from:

  (a)   sections   45AF, 45AG, 45AJ and 45AK (cartel conduct); and

  (b)   section   45 (contracts etc. that restrict dealings or affect competition); and

  (c)   section   47 (exclusive dealing).

  The parties to a registered conference agreement are required to negotiate with, and provide information to, representative shipper bodies.

  The Commission may investigate whether grounds exist for the Minister to deregister a conference agreement.

  The main ground for deregistration is a breach by the parties to the agreement of requirements imposed on them by this Part.

  This Part sets up a special regime for regulating anti - competitive conduct in the telecommunications industry. The regime applies in addition to Part   IV.

  The Part sets out the circumstances in which carriers and carriage service providers are said to engage in anti - competitive conduct .

  A carrier or carriage service provider must not engage in anti - competitive conduct. This rule is called the competition rule .

  The Commission may issue a notice stating that a specified carrier or carriage service provider has engaged, or is engaging, in anti - competitive conduct. The notice is called a Part A competition notice .

  Proceedings for the enforcement of the competition rule (other than proceedings for injunctive relief) must not be instituted unless the alleged conduct is of a kind dealt with in a Part A competition notice that was in force at the time when the alleged conduct occurred.

  The Commission may issue a notice stating that a specified carrier or carriage service provider has contravened, or is contravening, the competition rule. The notice is called a Part B competition notice .

  A Part B competition notice is prima facie evidence of the matters in the notice.

  The Commission may make an order exempting specified conduct from the scope of the definition of anti - competitive conduct . The order is called an exemption order .

  The Commission may make record - keeping rules that apply to carriers and carriage service providers.

  Carriers and carriage service providers may be directed by the Commission to make certain reports available. The direction is called a disclosure direction .

  This Part sets out a telecommunications access regime.

  A carriage service, or a related service, supplied, or capable of being supplied, by a carrier (other than an NBN corporation) or a carriage service provider (other than an NBN corporation) is a declared service if:

  (a)   the Commission has declared the service to be a declared service ; or

  (b)   the service is supplied by the carrier or carriage service provider, and a special access undertaking given by the carrier or carriage service provider is in operation in relation to the service.

  A carriage service, or a related service, supplied, or capable of being supplied, by an NBN corporation is a declared service if:

  (a)   the Commission has declared the service to be a declared service ; or

  (b)   the NBN corporation has formulated a standard form of access agreement that relates to access to the service; or

  (c)   the service is supplied by the NBN corporation, and a special access undertaking given by the NBN corporation is in operation in relation to the service.

  Carriers and carriage service providers who provide declared services are required to comply with standard access obligations in relation to those services.

  The standard access obligations facilitate the provision of access to declared services by service providers in order that service providers can provide carriage services and/or content services.

  The terms and conditions on which carriers and carriage service providers are required to comply with the standard access obligations are subject to agreement.

  If agreement cannot be reached, but the carrier or carriage service provider has given an access undertaking , the terms and conditions are as set out in the access undertaking.

  If agreement cannot be reached, no access undertaking is in operation, but the Commission has made binding rules of conduct, the terms and conditions are as specified in the binding rules of conduct.

  If agreement cannot be reached, no access undertaking is in operation, and no binding rules of conduct have been made, the terms and conditions are as specified in an access determination made by the Commission.

  A carrier, carriage service provider or related body must not prevent or hinder the fulfilment of a standard access obligation.

This Part deals with prohibited conduct by corporations in relation to electricity. It ceases to be in force on 1   January 2026.

Division   2 of this Part sets out the circumstances in which a corporation engages in prohibited conduct .

Responses to a corporation engaging in prohibited conduct include the following:

  (a)   the Commission may issue a public warning notice;

  (b)   the Commission may give the corporation an infringement notice;

  (c)   the Commission may give the corporation a prohibited conduct notice that sets out proposed orders (and the Commission may later give the Treasurer a prohibited conduct recommendation that recommends orders);

  (d)   if the Commission has given the Treasurer a prohibited conduct recommendation, the Treasurer may:

    (i) make a contracting order that requires making offers to enter into electricity financial contracts; and

    (ii) apply to the Court for a divestiture order that requires divestment of interests in assets and securities.

  This Part sets out an enforcement regime for the purposes of finding out whether there has been a contravention of this Act, a gas market instrument or the consumer data rules, Part   20 of the Telecommunications Act 1997 or Part   9 of the Telecommunications (Consumer Protection and Service Standards) Act 1999 .

  Division   2 provides for the appointment of inspectors and the issue of identity cards.

  Division   3 deals with entry to premises with the consent of the occupier of the premises.

  Division   4 deals with entry to premises under a search warrant issued by a magistrate. It sets out the powers available under a search warrant, the obligations of persons entering the premises and the rights and responsibilities of the occupier of the premises.

  Division   5 contains some general provisions relating to the operation of electronic equipment at premises.
