An illuminating introduction to competition law in Australia.

This new textbook provides an engaging treatment of Australian competition law and is ideal for those studying the subject for the first time. Written in an explanatory and lively style, the text fosters a sound understanding of the legal principles of competition law in Australia and demystifies the economic concepts underpinning the law. The work focuses on the contemporary situation, including the recently enacted criminal and civil regime governing cartel conduct, and also explains the historical context using analogies from popular culture.

Important Features:

· The text is enriched by the author's depth and breadth of experience in competition law - as a senior academic, as an advisor and litigator at the ACCC and as a special representative to the United Nations in capacity building
· Written in a lucid, informal style with frequent examples and questions to encourage the reader to think critically about the law and options for reform
· Every chapter concludes with annotated further reading providing a springboard for further study
