   The Australian Consumer Law is a law for fair trading and consumer protection which includes:
   • a new, national unfair contract terms law covering standard form contracts;
   • a new, national law guaranteeing consumer rights when buying goods and services, which replaces existing laws on conditions and warranties;
   • a new, national product safety law and enforcement system;
   • a new, national law for unsolicited consumer agreements, which replaces existing State and Territory laws on door-to-door sales and other direct marketing;
   • simple national rules for lay-by agreements; and
   • new penalties, enforcement powers and consumer redress options, which currently apply nationally.
