Partner Louise Klamka and Special Counsel Rebecca Dollisson take us through the risks and rewards of business cooperation, from Virgin and Qatar to the Vanilla Ice Posse. When can you talk to your competitors, when should you talk to your lawyer, and when do you need the ACCC? Plus the roadmap to the new merger clearance framework, the new scam prevention framework and some questionable consumer law limericks, why is there only one Monopolies Commission, and what is the new National Competition Policy? All this and the price of eggs with co-hosts Moya Dodd and Matt Rubinstein.
