On 14 March 1974 'Notes on Amendments to be Moved on Behalf of Government' were tabled in the Parliamentary Debates (Senate). These notes highlighted amendments to the Trade Practices Bill 1973 (Cth). These amendments included the insertion of cl 5. The only reference to cl 5 contained in the Parliamentary Debates in the Senate and the House of Representatives is contained in these notes. Item 14 of the Notes states (referring to the introduction of cl 5 into the Bill): 'This is to ensure that, as well as applying to conduct within Australia, the Act will apply to conduct outside Australia by persons having a specified nexus with Australia'.
