The ACCC will justify it by pointing to their gift declaration policy. I’m in no way saying it’s right but just speculating why it didn’t get much of a reaction.
FWIW I used to work in public healthcare and we weren’t allowed to accept so much as a branded pen or notepad from a medical company rep (free lunches were banned many years ago). That such a policy doesn’t apply to the ACCC is, quite simply, moronic.
I hear ya’. Baffling is the word!
