Sympli and the NSW Productivity Commission report, both warn of the dangers to other parts of the property market from PEXA also gaining a monopoly on the data that could allow it an unfair advantage as it expands into related business areas like conveyancing services. “This PEXA monopoly needs to be tackled head-on by government. We now know that it is building out a data empire similar to what we see in Google and Facebook but with little to no government regulation. This is a real risk and we know competition is the best way to drive accountability,” Sympli chief executive Philip Joyce said. #competition #Sympli #google #data

Great coverage in The Australian today about the need for states to urgently use enforcement powers at hand to deliver competition to benefit those buying and selling homes. Federal Assistant Competition Minister Andrew Leigh MP said: “The first step is for ARNECC to ensure that it uses all of the available powers. At the moment the states and territories haven’t used all their available powers, and so the Commonwealth is ready to step in when the states and territories have run out their powers.” Sympli chief executive Philip Joyce told The Australian that the standoff between federal and state ministers will only serve to benefit PEXA, adding that all levels of government need to use their enforcement powers to break up the monopoly in the industry. “PEXA has been consistently sabotaging this competition reform through disinformation, withholding key information and political lobbying with zero consequence from the Government,” he said. #competition #econveyancing Sympli

Sympli Response to ARNECC Statement - Sympli Sympli Chief Executive Officer, Philip Joyce, said: “We are encouraged to hear that Ministers have re-confirmed their commitment to interoperability and recognise the competition benefits that it will bring to consumers.” “Given the issues raised we call on the Commonwealth Government including the ACCC to work collaboratively with the States to ensure that ARNECC receive the support they need to resolve issues plaguing this program and deliver this critical reform.” “In a cost of living crisis, I would encourage governments at all levels to do what is needed to provide the right settings for competition and this should include enforcement action to ensure interoperability can be delivered.” #sympli #econveyancing #competition

"A better deal for Australians buying a house ... shouldn’t be held up by a monopoly player, whose market position is allowing it to get bigger profits” Bravo Andrew Leigh MP for calling it like it is in todays The Australian Financial Review article by Jemima Whyte (paywall link below ⬇️) At Sympli we’re determined to bring the benefits of competition to the industry and customers. And its not just fee savings – it’s resiliency, service and innovation benefits - $10s of millions. Every Year. The reform is at an important juncture and will need assertive action by Government, Banks and the Industry to make sure it stays on track for December 2025. Customers deserve that after too long in a monopoly market #competitionreform #customerbenefits #monopoly https://lnkd.in/gkBnjcWb
