The first major legal alternative, according to the ACCC's perspective, suggests changing legislation to provide additional government funding opportunities, which would allow for more authority to combat anti-competitive behaviour. On the other hand, the consumer's perspective suggests implementing a "victim insurance scheme," wherein financial compensation and support services are provided by the government or overseas administration in cases where consumers are victimised.
To ensure both equitable outcomes has achieved for both ACCC and consumers, changing legislation to provide more government funding would effectively protect consumers from scams, whereas “victim insurance scheme” primary benefits consumers. This decision would achieve equality of rights as strengthen regulatory power. This will improve this current situation by enforce consumer protection further against fraudulent business or individual law.
In the legal issue of ACCC not being able to protect consumers, it has been recommended to change the legislation and provide further government funding as an addendum to the current legislation of Australian Consumer Law (2011). This will rectify the application of the act in the future legal system.
