    A tech bill will let consumers share data with service providers, with the aim of lowering prices

    A tech bill will let consumers share data with service providers, with the aim of lowering prices


    Banks, insurance, and power companies will be able to use consumer data, to compete with each other.

    Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Andrew Bayly says it could change the banking environment for consumers.
