will be interesting to see how this unfolds and if it was google or an adwords customer who placed the keywords and if it makes an impact on google adwords policy

The ACCC down here is a political animal.

It's all about the election year.

The ACCC by itself doesn't seem to be of much use, but this case could be the precursor to something larger.

Give it a few years and we'll end up with a 20 page contract that has to be signed and notarised before each new keyword is permitted to be displayed.........
