Abstract

This working paper is based on a literature search conducted to identify and review relevant Australian and overseas research that is of relevance to Indigenous competition and consumer protection matters. The focus of the literature search has been on matters of relevance to Indigenous communities throughout Australia related to the Trade Practices Act 1974 (TPA). Results of the literature search suggest that most research conducted to date has focused on issues associated with Indigenous community stores and consumer banking. In addition, the geographic focus of past research has been predominantly on remote and regional Australia, areas where the structural impediments associated with remoteness may impede competition. Further, although the research has included some discussion of competition in Indigenous communities, it has mainly focused on consumer issues.
