Six months after calling for merger laws to be widened to include entrenching market power, Gina Cass-Gottlieb has put a big stake in the ground.

Another day, another bomb from the ACCC. And this one could set a new bar for merger clearances in Australia.

She said if Transurban bought EastLink, it would entrench its position in Victoria and prevent other companies from entering the market for future tollroad concessions.
