Thankfully the ACCC chair is an expert in this policy area. However up until the Qantas Group troubles became more public recently they were quietly approaching their resources clients to ask them to put in a good written word and then potentially challenge the ACCC view, perhaps in court. The takeover bid officially expires in December, I don't know how successful Qantas were in getting support from their mining clients and they have bigger legal priorities now anyway.
