Abstract:

Under the Competition Principles Agreement (CPA), the Australian Government is required to publish an annual report outlining its progress towards:

• achieving the review and, where appropriate, reform of all existing legislation that restricts competition (as outlined in the Commonwealth Legislation Review Schedule); and
• implementing competitive neutrality principles (including allegations of non-compliance).

However, to recognise fully the range of Australian Government commitments established by the National Competition Policy (NCP) Agreements, all areas of Australian Government involvement have been reported.

The 2004-05 annual report formally covers the period from 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005 with more recent information provided in certain cases, where available.

The National Competition Council (NCC), the independent body responsible for assessing jurisdictions’ progress with meeting their NCP obligations, has been provided relevant information as required under the CPA to assist with its 2005 assessment of the Australian Government’s progress with implementing NCP reforms.

Details of the 2005 assessment are available on the NCC’s website (www.ncc.gov.au) and the Australian Government’s decision on the NCC assessment is available on the Treasurer’s website (www.treasurer.gov.au).
