Article Abstract:

Importers of branded products hope to retain the use of copyright laws to protect exclusive distribution rights. Copyright protections permit importers to exclusively import or manufacture specific branded goods in Australia and to block similar imports. Although Prime minister John Howard is determined to remove this barrier to free trade, he did give industry representatives an opportunity to detail their objections to parallel importing.

Future shop

Article Abstract:

Australian supermarkets are following a trend of US chains to cater to customer convenience. New supermarkets will be organized by food or feature departments, such as a health shop or party shop, and feature sensory environments similar to specialty stores. Ready-to-heat meals, dubbed home replacement meals, are another trend. In addition, food retailers will utilize electronic shopping for in-home convenience.
