Ending the unfair tricks and traps that exploit consumers
Andrew Leigh's presentation will outline the Government’s plan to protect Australians from the tricks and traps of unfair trading practices. It will highlight the dangers of subscription schemes that are easy to enter but difficult to escape, hidden fees that appear mid-purchase, and manipulative “dark patterns” that distort consumer choice. These practices cause real harm: they waste time, drain household budgets and erode trust in markets, while disadvantaging honest businesses that compete fairly. By banning unfair trading practices against consumers, the Government is closing loopholes, ending manipulation and ensuring the marketplace serves Australians, rather than exploiting them.
