In Competitive Edge – The Podcast, we dissect topical competition law issues to help you understand how they may affect your business. In this episode, Matthew Bovaird and Dylan McGirr from Bird & Bird’s Sydney office discuss the regulation of digital platforms in Australia, an area where the ACCC has been at the vanguard of regulation. They explain what started the trend of digital platform regulation in Australia and why this is such a topical area, before exploring the discussion paper for ‘Interim Report No. 5’ of the ACCC’s Digital Platform Services Inquiry. This discussion paper considers whether Australia’s competition and consumer laws are appropriate to tackle the particular challenges of big tech. If you have any questions or need clarifications, we would be happy to hear from you.
