Benefits of the research

The Cartel Project aims to:

• Generate awareness and understanding of the issues involved in this major policy change.
• Inform current debates about the nature, process and effectiveness of regulatory reform generally, and about competition policy and business regulation particularly.
• Provide important practical input to the implementation and enforcement of a criminal cartel regime, and the enforcement of competition law more generally.
• Contribute to the effectiveness ultimately of criminalisation in reducing serious cartel conduct in Australian industry.
