violators are required to put a big banner up on the homepage of their website saying 'we done fucked up big' and keep it there for like a year

are all brexiteers like this?

a local chink pc parts store had a giant one up on their site, and still have some banners on the side https://www.msy.com.au/home.php

Ok i have no idea about this, but i see nothing wrong with strict consumer laws

http://cdn.msy.com.au/pdf/aclrights.pdf this looks pretty nice

see the 'australia day' banner in the middle of the homepage?

imagine that except in times new roman font "CONSUMER RIGHTS VIOLATION blah blah blah what we did"

is what they used to have

ok?

what the issue

it's good

fuck em

glad we agree then

it's a fantastic punishment for busineses

does it punish businesses that consumers gets informed about their rights?

fines are one thing, but being forced to tell all your customers that you fucked them over in the past is poetic

i dont think it has anything to do with it, its just so consumers gets informed about their rights

and it's a big reminder that sits there for a year

now it is, perhaps

but the big violation banner MSY had is part of an actual punishment that the ACCC hands out

how is it a punishment? It is not a fine, it is not a restriction for the business, it is just a visible link for consumers rights

maybe they did a poll and a vast majority of australians didnt know about their rights so they passed this law

it points out that they were scumbags in the past and violated customer's rights

who says that?

currently it's just a PDF linked on the side

it used to be a big banner listing their violation

ok so only companies who violated law before needs to have these huge banners and links?

yes

ok thats is even better

fuck em

it is part of a punishment for when they DO fuck up
