Productivity Commission Chair  Danielle Wood joins Partner Jeremy Jose to discuss the evolving role of the Commission, the Competition Taskforce, the progress and prospects of the new Competition Policy Review, and the importance of basing Australian policy on Australian evidence and data. Plus regulatory grids and antitrust raps at G+T's inaugural Financial Services Forum, a googol roubles trouble Google, rectangular wheat biscuit products and the ACCC's enduring priority of breakfast, and parliament juggles merger laws and divestiture bills. All this and four more years, apparently, with co-hosts Moya Dodd and Matt Rubinstein.
