Where the entity is a Company that is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). “Owned” shall be the percentile score of “Australian Citizens” who hold a directorship in the Company AND it’s parent company(s), if any.
Oz COMPliance “Made” shall mean the percentile score of the cost of producing or manufacturing the goods (as the case may be) that is attributable to production or manufacturing in Australia AND that the relevant goods satisfy the requirements of section 65AB of the Trades Practises Act 1974 (cth)(as amended), that is, a substantial change has taken place in Australia as to their form, appearance or nature that the goods existing after the change are new and different from those existing before the change.
To be changed at a future date to - All manufacturing/making is to be priced / valued as having occurred in Australia.
