Consumer Protection (Amendment) Bill 2017: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Bill Cox:

Forty-four is quite a good response for consultations on consumer law, even though one might think the figure would be higher, given that everyone is a consumer. We do not take advertisements out in the newspapers any longer, partly because not that many people read newspapers, to be perfectly honest, and partly on cost grounds. The Minister publicised it. When the closing date was coming up, she went on Twitter and the Department brought out a press statement encouraging people to get in. A serious effort was made to get the maximum number of contributions.
