02/02/2010 - AAAA RESPONDS TO NEW LAW
Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association has recently presented a submission to the Commonwealth Consumer Affairs Advisory Council (CCAAC). The Australian Government will introduce legislation in early 2010 to implement the Australian Consumer Law, and state and territory governments will introduce legislation into their respective Parliaments to apply the Australian Consumer Law as a law of each jurisdiction by the end of 2010. The Australian Consumer Law content will be influenced by the recommendations from a CCAAC Report - Consumer Rights: Reforming statutory implied conditions and warranties. AAAA was invited to present a submission to the CCAAC in order to elaborate further on issues it had raised on behalf of the automotive aftermarket industry and automotive consumers. Fortuitously, the CCAAC terms of reference for its review of warranties coincided with the objectives of AAAA's Choice of Repairer Campaign. As a result of AAAA's COR work, the Association was able to build a credible case, based on current member experiences of warranty terminology abuses and misleading information that limits consumer choice and the legitimate business growth of our members. AAAA received an excellent reception by CCAAC and a number of points raised were referenced in the final CCAAC report. AAAA has provided its members with a detailed report outlining the Association's submission to CCAAC and will keep its members informed of the progress and outcomes of the proposed Australian Consumer Law via its website and its member publication, Australian Automotive Aftermarket Magazine. Members who require more information in the meantime are asked to contact the National Office direct on (03) 95617044.
