Pengilley has neatly summarised the long and ongoing disputation between the Australian Medical Association (AMA) and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).1 The AMA claims that medical roster arrangements are likely to constitute a breach of the primary boycott provisions of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cwlth), a proposition vehemently denied by the ACCC (and by the Wilkinson Committee, which came into being as the result of vocal representations made to the federal government by the AMA).
