Simply put: they can't challenge the conflict of interest when
the same person is the director/sole-trader on the 2+ business
entities.<br>

No court will tolerate ASIC or ACCC the trying to split a small
business down the middle, when the split is 1 person.<br>

Can you image the order: don't talk to yourself about half of your
business when conducting the other half?<br>

<br>
As a single-employee company doing both the functions of supply to
end users, as well as the installation and ongoing maintenance and
operation of a "complying super-fast" network (glass), they are
required to (as of 1st january - ie, 2 weeks!) somehow separate
the "retail" and "wholesale" parts of their business...
<br>
<br>
How can they??
<br>
Surely there must be a way to apply for and be granted an
exemption on the grounds that it is not practical or feasable to
comply? (Especially as they've been operating this way for a
decade or two perfectly legally)
