Request for further information
On 4 January 2008 the ACCC issued Telstra with a request for further information pursuant to section 152AU of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (now known as the Competition and Consumer Act 2010). Telstra responded to this request on 28 March 2008. However, in a meeting with Telstra on 23 April 2008 and subsequently in a letter dated 12 May 2008, the ACCC informed Telstra that their response did not fulfil the information request.
On 10 June 2008 Telstra provided the ACCC with a public version of a confidential Market Clarity Report dated 3 June 2008 and on 19 June 2008 Telstra supplied a further response to the ACCC's information requests of 4 January 2008 and 13 May 2008.
On 22 July 2008 the ACCC wrote to Telstra accepting the information it supplied to the ACCC in response to its information requests.
