(a) transfer the complaint to the ACCC; and
(b) give written notice to the complainant stating that the complaint has been so transferred; and
(c) give to the ACCC any information or documents that relate to the complaint and that are in the ACMA's possession or under its control.
(3) The ACCC may hold an investigation into the matter and, if it decides to do so, it must report to the ACMA on:
(a) the conduct of the investigation; and
(b) any findings that it has made as a result of the investigation; and
(c) the evidence and other material on which those findings were based; and
(d) such other matters relating to, or arising out of, the investigation as the ACCC thinks fit.

matter, it must give to the ACMA a written notice informing the ACMA of its
