Fundraising laws: No change in the immediate future

Review of Consumer Law Sees Charity Sector ‘Fobbed Off’  The coalition of not-for-profit organisations under the #fixfundraising banner had hoped that the release of the review of Australian Consumer Law (ACL) would play some part in addressing the issues raised in the campaign.  However the report does note “that aspects of the ACL need further consideration. An ambitious forward research program is proposed for areas such as unsolicited selling, digital products, services, unfair trading and fundraising.”  There may still be reason for hope, it is just further down the track.
