Serious cartel conduct is seen as highly damaging to Australia's economic welfare but only recently has it been regarded as criminal. This research will inform public debate about the impetus and justification for this major shift in competition law policy and enforcement. It will provide robust empirical evidence about public opinion and business behaviour and derive insights into whether criminalisation will promote greater compliance with the law. It will assist in refining practical implementation measures to ensure the effectiveness of a criminal regime and it will aid legislators and regulators in policy-making, regulatory design and enforcement in relation to competition law and business regulation more generally.

严重的卡特尔行为被视为对澳大利亚经济福利的严重损害，但直到最近才被视为犯罪。这项研究将有助于公众辩论竞争法政策和执行方面这一重大转变的动力和理由。它将提供有关公众舆论和商业行为的强有力的经验证据，并深入了解刑事化是否会促进更好地遵守法律。它将协助完善切实可行的执行措施，以确保刑事制度的有效性，并将协助立法者和管理者在竞争法和更广泛的商业监管方面制定政策、设计监管和执法。
