International Aviation and Competition Policy in Australia <\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Complementary or in Conflict?<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Russell Miller AM<\/p>\n

This article, traces the growing impact domestic competition law in Australia has had on established international policies that nurtured and facilitated international aviation as it exists today and explores how, in Australia, international aviation policy and competition policy have conflicted, but found common ground on which to beneficially co-exist. The article has its origins in the Aviation Law Association of Australia and New Zealand\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s annual David Broughton Memorial Lecture presented by the author in 2019.<\/p>\n

Does Competition Law Have a Digital Achilles\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Heel?<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Hasan Mohammad<\/p>\n

While the rapid shift towards the digital economy affords a multitude of benefits, competition authorities and commentators have raised concerns regarding the risks that it poses for competition enforcement. In particular, it is widely believed that traditional competition law principles are ineffective at controlling market power in digital platform markets as they were originally developed for enforcement in non-digital contexts. This article focuses on the unique attributes of digital platforms which are thought to give rise to competition enforcement risks, namely network effects, self-preferencing, default settings, data asymmetries and strategic acquisitions. It is demonstrated that many claims regarding these attributes are not supported by empirical evidence. In addition, examples of recent competition proceedings are cited to demonstrate how traditional competition law and complementary consumer law frameworks are malleable such that they remain applicable and effective in addressing market power concerns in digital contexts.<\/p>\n
