This article will focus on whether the aforementioned pooling arrangements contain exclusionary provisions in contravention of s 45 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), and if so, what defences are available to the AFL. The article contends that it should more properly be open to the AFL to claim immunity from s 45 pursuant to the single economic entity theory, as opposed to being classified as a joint venture and relying on the joint venture defence contained in s 76C of the Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To purchase this article, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/subscribe-or-purchase\/individual-article-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultDetailed.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/AJCCL\/volumes\/20\/parts\/3&amp;contentSourceHref=journals\/AJCCL\/volumes\/20\/parts\/3\/articles\/171\/fulltext&amp;tocType=fullText&amp;hitListPageContext=http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultSummary.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/AJCCL\/volumes\/20\/parts\/3___tocType=fullText___sortBy=publicationYear\/articleDate&amp;searchId=22&amp;hit=3&amp;hits=15&amp;articleType=fulltext&amp;freeText=&amp;titleCode=Apiecl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>ACCC priorities in enforcing competition law<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/em>Rod Sims<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is an abridged text of a speech given by the Chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Rod Sims, at the 2012 Competition Law Conference, in Sydney on 5 May 2012.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To purchase this article, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/subscribe-or-purchase\/individual-article-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultDetailed.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/AJCCL\/volumes\/20\/parts\/3&amp;contentSourceHref=journals\/AJCCL\/volumes\/20\/parts\/3\/articles\/177\/fulltext&amp;tocType=fullText&amp;hitListPageContext=http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultSummary.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/AJCCL\/volumes\/20\/parts\/3___tocType=fullText___sortBy=publicationYear\/articleDate&amp;searchId=22&amp;hit=4&amp;hits=15&amp;articleType=fulltext&amp;freeText=&amp;titleCode=UtAsNCOadaii\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Understanding the ACCC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s NBN Co\/Optus authorisation decision and its implications<\/a> <\/em><\/strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/em>Rod Sims<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s recent authorisation of the agreement between NBN Co and Optus has generated much comment.
