Yeah, the ACCC are great here. They could always do more but it seems like they're one of the most active parts of our government.

- disordinary 10y agoAnother interesting part of the Consumer Guarantees Act (which I'm guessing is similar to the ACCC) is if a product is replaced with something new then the lifespan of the item resets, so if my laptop is replaced three years into an expected five year lifespan then I get another expected five years. It's amazing how companies try to get away with things though.
- rmccue 10y agoThe Consumer Guarantees Act is like the Australian Consumer Law; the ACCC is just the body responsible for enforcing it and representing consumers. The analogous body in NZ is the Commerce Commission: http://www.comcom.govt.nz/the-commission/making-a-complaint/ http://www.comcom.govt.nz/the-commission/making-a-complaint/
