National Competition Policy (NCP) has been a highly contentious public policy issue in Australia since its introduction in 1995. This paper examines the development and implementation of NCP, and its relationship to other modalities of state restructuring such as privatisation. We also analyse selected aspects of NCP in operation, including issues of market failures such as the 1998 gas, electricity and water supply crises; the role of competition regulators in the labour market; and issues of public interest. We track changes in the way NCP has been enforced by the regulatory authority, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, which is taking an increasingly interventionist approach to labour market issues, but a more laissez-faire approach to other markets. These developments are analysed in the context of a globalised economic system dominated by large business corporations that often do not operate in classic, competitive markets. The forces of globalisation and the development of a strong community backlash against NCP In rural and regional Australia are placing increasing pressure on Australian competition policy as it is currently configured
