I'm not super certain of where these would fit with the syllabus, but I've found these:
Majority of supermarket suppliers signed up to code: ACCC
Ashley Madison in breach of Australian privacy laws at time of hack, watchdogs say (This was actually interesting to read!)
The personal details Facebook uses to target ads to you (also interesting, I've looked at this kind of thing at Uni (not from a consumer perspective) and its super interesting - but I can't guarantee it suits the consumer law syllabus. Possibly good for the "technology" contemporary issue)
EasyMeals admits it misled consumers with diabetes and free meal claims

Here's the tab for the consumer affairs section of the Sydney Morning Herald: http://www.smh.com.au/business/consumer-affairs

Here's the tab for workplace: http://www.smh.com.au/business/workplace-relations
I just went through the workplace tab but everything seems pretty interesting to me (I have a bit of a workplace fascination lately) but I can't guarantee what's relevant to the syllabus. So have a quick look over it :)

Good find! I think it is surprising that 60% of voters are in support of the lock out laws, yet two/three years since their introduction, there are still protests 10,000+ people strong! The little interactive graph thing on there is a great tool too. Substantially more men oppose lock out laws to women. Good find Laura!

This case is hardly relevant to the course because it is an American case, but I think it's always good to compare the system here to overseas in order to make an informed judgement on the effectiveness of our system. This is a distressing case - and the sentencing is most peculiar.

What are your thoughts?
