Response to the Franchising Code of Conduct – Exposure Draft

In this submission, the AADA notes that the current situation in Australia’s automotive franchising landscape is tenuous and there will be major consequences if steps are not taken to protect Australian Dealers and their 60,000 employees before the next review of this legislation in five-year’s time. To this end we urge the Government to implement further amendments to the automotive franchising provisions of the Code. The AADA has put forward a series of modest amendments that would by no means completely level the playing field between Dealers and multinational car manufacturers, but would have the effect of proving protections in line with those that exist for Dealers in the US and the EU.
