Restrictive Trade Practices

FYI: media have no obligation to accept ads - FYI: we were turned down when we tried to advertise on the SCMP online...


As for man with a van, we will be expanding this by two or three - if you know any suitable ones please let us know... main criteria: they must have good english and they must not handle international moves...


ASIC: no idea what this is but I dont think you have interpreted it correctly... I doubt you will ever see two banks or airlines with an ad on the same page of any publication - they simply dont do it... just as they dont like to have their banners running on the same page of a web site.... nobody is forcing their competitors off... all they will say is if you are going to run a competitor on the same page then they will take their ad budget elsewhere... I dont think you would get far trying to fine someone because of this... And as far as exclusivity goes, if a media decides to offer this to one client in an industry I dont think anybody can do anything about it...

Do not come from a legal background, but does not seem as though a forum purporting to be a free exchange of ideas and information can censor that information on the basis of paid advertising.
