ACCC proposes better protections for licensees and creators under music licensing arrangements

The ACCC has issued a draft determination proposing to authorise the Australasian Performing Right Association’s (APRA) musical works licensing arrangements for five years, subject to stronger conditions aimed at improving the association’s accountability and transparency.

APRA, a collecting society holding performing rights for virtually all musical works played or performed in Australia, has had arrangements authorised in some form for 26 years. APRA’s current authorisation is terminating, and APRA is seeking a further authorisation. As part of the process of considering a new authorisation, the ACCC has consulted widely with relevant stakeholders....

's proposed acquisition of not opposed following transaction restructure

The ACCC will not oppose Igneo Infrastructure Partners’ proposed acquisition of Benedict Recycling Pty Ltd, following a change to the transaction addressing the ACCC’s preliminary competition concerns.

Igneo manages the infrastructure fund which owns Integrated Waste Services (IWS) and operates under the Recycle Central brand in New South Wales. IWS and Benedict Recycling overlap in the supply of building and demolition (B&D) waste processing services in New South Wales’s Newcastle region.

In September 2025, the ACCC expressed strong preliminary competition concerns that the proposed acquisition was likely to substantially lessen competition in the supply of mixed B&D waste processing services in the Newcastle region.“IWS and Benedict Recycling are each other’s closest competitors in the area, and there are limited alternatives to IWS and Benedict Recycling for customers to choose from,” ACCC Commissioner Dr Philip Williams said.....

DP World invests in rail interchange to boost Western Australia’s freight network

DP World has welcomed Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Rita Saffioti, to officially break ground on a new approximately $18 million Fremantle Rail Interchange project -- a major investment in critical infrastructure designed to strengthen Western Australia’s freight network, improve supply chain efficiency, and support the state’s long-term economic growth.

The project will deliver a new dedicated rail gate connection linking DP World’s Fremantle container operations directly with the North Quay Rail Terminal, streamlining container transfers within the port precinct and cutting more than 20,000 truck movements a year on internal roads.

By shifting more freight by rail – up from 22% to 33% of the total freight volume – the project will deliver measurable gains in productivity and sustainability, reducing emissions, easing congestion, and improving cost efficiency for Western Australian exporters and importers....

Australia’s corporate law reform alliance calls for action to support economic growth and productivity through law reform body

A group of professional associations, business groups and academics has joined forces as the Corporate Law Reform Alliance (Alliance) to raise awareness of how the nation’s complex and unclear corporation law framework is holding Australia’s economy back.

In 2023, the Australian Law Reform Commission described the Corporations Act 2001 which includes financial services law, as no longer fit for purpose, shrouded in complexity, unclear and extremely difficult to navigate and administer.

“Complex and ill-defined regulation not only impacts how organisations are governed. It also makes it more difficult for regulators to administer and courts to enforce. It makes it harder for individuals to understand and enforce their rights.” Pauline Vamos, spokesperson for the Alliance stated....

More telco customers turning to Ombudsman for complaint resolution

New figures from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) reveal that more telco customers are turning to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) to resolve complaints with their service providers.

The 2024–25 telco complaints report shows that the proportion of complaints escalated to the TIO rose to 6.6 per cent, up from 6.1 per cent in 2023–24.

ACMA member Samantha Yorke said the industry has been letting the Ombudsman do too much of the heavy lifting on matters that ultimately should be fixed by the telco.....
