- The ACCC is continuing its campaign against dubious representations of free-range eggs, fining Pirovic Enterprises $300,000.

- Elsewhere in our special Finehacker edition of briefly, ACMA has fined business loan company AusVANCE $10,200 for sending email marketing to customers who had not given their consent. AusVANCE had purchased the list from a broker but didn’t seek proof that all names on it had consented to marketing activities.

- Gamers can relax; Kotaku’s review of Destiny has appeared. The key phrase? “It’s usually a lot of fun, except when it aggressively isn’t. I can’t stop playing.”
