澳大利亚推行新法律,禁止隐蔽收费和不公平保证等欺骗性商业做法。 Australia pushes new laws to ban deceptive business practices like hidden fees and unfair warranties.

澳大利亚主管生产力的助理部长Andrew Leigh(Andrew Leigh)正在推动一项得到所有州和地区一致支持的全国性努力,以针对隐性收费、高涨的价格和不公平保修条件等欺骗性公司做法制定更强有力的消费者保护法。 Australia’s Assistant Minister for Productivity, Andrew Leigh, is driving a nationwide effort—supported unanimously by all states and territories—to introduce stronger consumer protection laws targeting deceptive corporate practices such as hidden fees, inflated prices, and unfair warranty terms. Leigh指出,公司越来越多地通过行为策略利用消费者的不关心,将需要援助的客户视为负债,并允许信任因服务差和成本削减而侵蚀。 Leigh noted that companies increasingly exploit consumer inattention through behavioral tactics, view customers needing assistance as liabilities, and allow trust to erode through poor service and cost-cutting. 拟议的立法将广泛禁止所有不公平和不合理的行为,防止今后发生,确保随着新形式的公司欺骗的出现提供长期保护。 The proposed legislation would ban all unfair and unreasonable conduct in a broad, future-proof way, ensuring long-term protection as new forms of corporate deception emerge.
