The MSY case was nothing short of incredible to watch go down. They were required to put a massive notice on their websites landing page about it too.

From memory, they tried to hide it or make it tiny to view and ACCC came back and went "You really didn't learn huh? Wanna go for round 2?" and they went back to prominently displaying it again.

I seem to remember their website flagrantly warning about their illegal returns/refunds "policy"

With a giant red "THE ACCC HAS REQUIRED US TO LET ALL CUSTOMERS KNOW" etc etc at the top of the page

The best part of that was it was directly below their banner which had "MSY - The name you can trust"

Yeah, but let’s be honest, MSY is actually pretty good. I shop there all the time.
