Not really, what is 'predatory' anyway and in what context? If you are talking about predatory pricing, which as far as I know is the only area in which the term predatory is used, you got Buckley's of getting them on that.

However, I think you are talking about mergers so you might want to look at the ACCC guidelines for that.

I was glad I paused and waited for the car heading South on Lonsdale Hwy that went through the red light as i tried to turn right into Lander Ave tonight....

Sorry I move off from traffic lights slowly - too many dickheads on Adelaide roads especially now that school s finishing for those who've just got their P plates and think they are bullet proof....
