The ACCC is great. They just stung MSY - one of the cheaper components suppliers - $750,000 for misleading signs about consumer rights. If you buy stuff here, you’re protected pretty well. As a consumer, I think that’s terrific. For example, a friend bought a hard drive from one of MSY’s competitors. Very shortly afterwards, it failed. The law says he’s entitled to a replacement from the shop that sold it to him, but they refused and claimed that it had to be sent back to the manufacturer. From a consumer’s perspective, that’s ridiculous: you just sold me a thing, and it doesn’t work! I don’t want a repair, I want a thing that works. The shop he got that from - Scorptec - used to have similar signs to MSY. We checked last week. They’re gone.
