Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Rod Sims said its carbon price claims hotline would “make it easier for consumers and business to complain if they suspect false price claims are being made about the carbon price”.
“The ACCC is concerned that consumers may be duped into accepting a price increase for a product or service because of the carbon price, when the carbon price is actually not the cause,” he said.
“Through the Carbon Price Claims Hotline, the ACCC invites complaints about false or misleading carbon price claims.
“While businesses are free to set their own prices, if they make claims about the impact of the carbon price these need to be truthful and have a reasonable basis.”
