  • Your Rights to Return Goods Bought Online—A Scan of the Return Policies of Online Retailers in Australia
    Your rights to return goods bought online—a scan of the return policies of online retailers in Australia December 2011 Overview In December 2011, Consumer Action Law Centre looked at the refund and return policies of 12 leading online businesses operating in Australia.i The purpose of this research was to investigate whether online retailers understood their obligations under the Consumer Guarantees provisions of the Australian Consumer Law (which protect consumers if they are sold goods or services that are faulty) and whether they reflect that understanding in the information they provide to consumers. We sorted the policies into three categories: . Good practice: policy does not mislead consumers and sets out consumer rights clearly and comprehensively; . Pass: policy is ok, but has minor problems or could be clearer; and . Fail: policy seriously departs from good practice, risks misleading consumers regarding their rights or places unreasonable barriers to returning faulty goods. What we found was pretty disappointing. In our assessment: . only two of the retailers we looked at, Deals Direct and Crazy Sales, met the good practice standard, with refund and return policies that were both compliant with the Consumer Guarantees and demonstrate good practice; . Target and Big W had passable policies, but still need improvement; and . the remaining eight businesses, including some big names like Apple, Coles Online and Officeworks, had policies with many serious deficiencies. Since reviewing the policies in December 2011, some of these companies have said that they will review or change their policies. Be aware that the problems we identify below may have been addressed.

  • Qantas Announces Chairman Succession Plan
    ASX and Media Release QANTAS ANNOUNCES CHAIRMAN SUCCESSION PLAN 28 June 2018 Qantas Chairman Leigh Clifford will step down from the national carrier in October 2018, after 11 years in the role. Current board member, Richard Goyder, will assume the role of Qantas Chairman following the AGM on 26 October. Mr Clifford became Chairman of Qantas in November 2007. He led the Board through one of the most transformative periods in the airline’s 98 year history and to record levels of profitability, employee engagement and customer satisfaction. Announcing his retirement as Chairman, Mr Clifford said: “It has been an absolute privilege to lead the Qantas Board for these past 11 years. The national carrier has never been in a stronger position and that’s a credit to the management team and the 30,000 employees that make up the Qantas Group family. “Richard is one of the most experienced business leaders in Australia and an excellent choice to lead the Qantas Board into the future.” Mr Goyder joined the Qantas Board in November 2017 after serving as CEO of Wesfarmers Limited for 12 years. His other roles include Chairman of Woodside Petroleum Limited and the Australian Football League. Mr Goyder said: “Qantas is an iconic Australian company and one of the best performing airline groups in the world. I’m honoured to be named its Chairman and look forward to working with my Board colleagues to help it take advantage of the opportunities ahead.” The October 2018 AGM will mark the end of Leigh Clifford’s current three-year term on the Qantas Board.

  • 2020 Third Quarter Sales Results Supporting Our Team Members
    29 April 2020 2020 Third Quarter Sales Results Supporting our team members, customers, community and suppliers during COVID-19 and bushfires Statement from Coles Group CEO Steven Cain “I would like to say a huge thank you to our team members, suppliers and community partners, SecondBite and Foodbank, for their enormous efforts during the third quarter to sustainably feed all Australians to help them lead healthier, happier lives at a time when bushfires and the impact of COVID-19 made that purpose more important than ever. We would like to thank the Government for establishing the Supermarkets Taskforce. We are also grateful to the State and Federal Health authorities for their expert advice on how to combat the threat of infection in our stores and through our supply chain, and we continue to work with them to implement recommended measures to keep our team members and customers safe, including promoting the use of the Government’s COVIDSafe app. We have been encouraged to see the way that Australians have met this challenge as a community, taking the opportunity to help neighbours, family and friends wherever they can. As we all continue to adjust to the many changes that have resulted from the pandemic, Coles is already taking steps to help restore Australia’s economic recovery. This includes hiring an additional 12,000 team members, continuing our multi-billion dollar capital and operating expenditure plans to underpin future growth, continuing to prioritise value for customers, continuing sporting and community sponsorships, and paying an interim dividend of more than $400 million to our shareholders, which directly and indirectly benefits millions of Australians.” Third Quarter Sales – 12 Weeks from 6 January to 29 March 2020 COMPARABLE $ MILLION 3Q20 3Q19 CHANGE GROWTH1 Supermarkets 8,230 7,232 13.8% 13.1% Liquor 740 697 6.1% 7.2% Express (c-store) 256 243 5.0% 4.3% Total third quarter sales 9,226 8,173 12.9% 12.4% 1 To better align the timing of comparable sales between the FY20 and FY19 financial periods, 3Q19 is based on 7 January to 31 March 2019.
