Legal Studies and Economics students attend Whitlam Institute: Legal CPD - Spotlight event

Legal Studies and Economic senior students attended Whitlam Institute: Legal CPD - Spotlight on Competition and Consumer Law event, held at the Federal Court of Australia in Sydney on Friday, 21 March 2025.

Hosted by the Whitlam Institute and their commitment to involving young people in shaping Australia's future through the What Matters? writing competition, the students got to hear from leaders like High Court Justice Jacqueline Gleeson.

The 50th anniversary of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), formerly called the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth), in 2024 marked a milestone in Australia’s legal and economic landscape. Reflecting upon the Act’s legacy of effectiveness, resilience and adaptability, the conference will consider the challenges of the next chapters of Australia’s competition and consumer law.
