According to ACCC, the proposed accretion would essentially abate antagonism through the abatement of Woolworths' two abutting competitors in the Ballarat area. Wesfarmers endemic Bunnings is the added actual key adversary in that area.
ACCC Chairman Rod Sims said, "The ACCC is anxious about the abatement of a key absolute adversary from the bazaar to the damage of antagonism and bounded consumers. G Gay & Co is a active and able adversary in agreement of price, artefact ambit and account and is acceptable to accommodate a able aggressive coercion on Masters in the Ballarat area."
