QUOTES/COMMENTS:

“The Australian Government and the ACCC has created and agreed on this dishonest practice and the Prime Minister Morrison should legislate to reverse this money laundering practice.” Dick Smith

“Thank you Dick. Thank you so much.
I run a small family owned country motel. We have been getting extorted for years and the percentages are getting higher and higher in the favour of Booking.com and Expedia and the many other sites they own.
My commission bill per month can amount to 3-4k. These greedy American companies make as much as I do out of my business. They do nothing to earn it yet we work 15 hour days 7 days a week.
We pay taxes they pay nothing. We employ locals they do not. I seen this video and tears ran down my eyes.
Thank you so much Dick Smith. You are a true Australian.” Marissa
