The Federal Government response on 3 September 2021 to the Senate Education and Employment References Committee’s report, Driving a fairer deal: Regulation of the relationship between car manufacturers and car dealers in Australia, confirms it has no major plans for further regulation or review of the automotive sector beyond those already announced.
The Government noted a range of changes it had made in recent times which aim to make the automotive sector fairer and more transparent for consumers, dealers and manufacturers, referencing:
The Government declined to intervene in the ACCC investigations in relation to GM Holden or impose additional reporting obligations on the ACCC. It noted it is consulting on the merits of a standalone automotive franchising code and options to strengthen alternative dispute resolution mechanisms for automotive franchisees through binding arbitration.1
Any further reform of consumer warranty laws will depend on the outcome of a regulatory impact assessment. The Government expressed satisfaction with the current operations of ASBFEO, and declined to undertake a further review into effectively enforcing alleged contraventions of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 as it relates to the regulation of the relationship between car manufacturers and car dealers.
