ACCC should be one guy and a secretary who react to complaints only. We could call the guy something cool like boda-boom bud-lite man. Boombudsman… ombudsman.

Yeah. That would rock.

ACCC just target the big guys, which they know will take years and secrure there jobs. how many millions wasted on something so trivial as sponsed adds? and google is free, the should be able to mash up results anyway they want.

ACCC fined apple for calling a device 4g even though it had 4g hardware because no teleco decided to use the same frequencies.

Accc is the mother of the nanny state. amaking the hand of the big bad companies.

Forrester,
Good one. Hope you snag a tuna, mackerel or queenie should your line be far enough out. Anything else, toss it back for the plebs.

Knock a C off and replace Google with Drugs In Sport.

Can’t see how drugs in sport are making anyone’s life worse.

The Australian Rugby Union’s Integrity Office uncovered four cases of amateur players taking performance enhancing drugs in past 2 years.

Out of how many?

UTW, so who do I put in charge of the ACCC when I become King? The mission will be to clean the nest out, and do their jobs.

If the A.C.C.C. want to establish a reputation for themselves as ‘activists’, then I (and 23 million other Australians) could inform them of an instance where an individual promised all 23 million of us : “There will be no carbon tax under a Government I lead.”

How about launching a prosecution over THAT classic and monstrous example of deceit and fraud?

Or are the A.C.C.C just as blind, deaf, dumb and catatonic as the A.T.O. are over the taxation implications of the A.W.U. and H.S.U. embezzlement cases where millions of dollars of union and other funds were converted to personal enrichment scams tax free?

My approach is very novel; from a bench at my favourite caravan park down the coast!

Sack the judges of the Federal Court who got the law wrong.

Like most public officials they are worried about their “legacy”.
Politicians want to immortalise themselves as the “father” of some great and good policy initiative, or be associated with a monster piece of infrastructure.
Similarly, judges are constantly on the lookout for their “snail in the ginger-beer bottle” moment.
Witness not only the ACCC case, but also the ludicrous Optus sports broadcasting decision in the Federal Court which was knocked ove r on appeal.
The next cab off the rank (pun intended) will be Rares non-decision in the case of Slippery Pete vs the boy.

Sack the judges of the Federal Court who got the law wrong. It amazes me when I read that someone can win in a lower court, lose on appeal to a higher court, then win again on appeal to an even higher court. The judges who don’t know the law should be sacked and lose their pensions etc – let them drive cabs to make a living.
