Commerce Act 1986

3A: Commission to consider efficiency

You could also call this:

"The Commission must think about how to make things better and more efficient for the public."

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

When you are looking at whether something is good for the public, the Commission has to think about efficiencies. The Commission considers if the conduct will make things better or more efficient. You can find more information about this in the Commerce Amendment Act 1990.

The Commission looks at what might happen because of the conduct and if it will be good for the public. They think about if it will make things easier or better for people. This helps the Commission make a decision about what is best for everyone.
