Abstract

Australia has a long history of anti-competitive practices in its markets. From the time of the first fleet, individuals and groups sought to control markets and profit from manipulating prices (Round and Shanahan 2015: 1-10). Despite the Federal Government passing legislation inspired by the Sherman Act before the First World War, it paid no real attention to ensuring competitive markets for almost half a century.
