On 5 November, the Commonwealth Consumer Affairs Advisory Council (CCAAC) announcedthat it was launching an inquiry into app purchases by Australian consumers. The aim of the inquiry, the CCAAC said, would be to look into consumer trends and experiences when purchasing and using mobile content.

Today, the CCAAC has opened the inquiry to public submissions.

There are three ways that consumers can make a submission: write and upload a submission; make comments on the issues paper; or respond to a survey created for the inquiry.
