The Australian Government Productivity Commission is looking for submissions for an inquiry into the right to repair, including the reduction of e-waste. Submissions are due by the end of January. https://www.pc.gov.au/inquiries/current/repair/issues "The focus of this inquiry is on consumers’ ability to repair faulty goods and to access repair services at a competitive price. "We have been asked to look at the barriers and enablers of competition in repair markets and the costs and benefits of a regulated ‘right to repair’, including facilitating access to embedded software in consumer and other goods. "We have also been asked to look at arrangements for preventing premature or planned product obsolescence and the proliferation of e‑waste, and means of reducing e‑waste through improved access to repairs."
