We provided a submission to the Treasury consultation Digital Platforms - A Proposed New Digital Competition Regime on 14 February 2025.
In this submission, DSPANZ broadly supported the new digital competition regime and its ability to make it easier for software developers to make their apps available on app marketplaces. We suggested that as part of introducing this regime, the government should consider establishing a "Digital Economy Regulator" as a central source for digital platforms to meet their obligations under these reforms.
We further recommended that government explicitly considers the role and importance of security requirements when determining the regulatory obligations for app marketplaces.
