I've heard of cases where the car/transporter has been painted in the sponsors colours in a bid to woo them to sign the deal |

Their alleged actions are 100% illegal under Trade Practices Act, specifically restraint of trade. Nobody is allowed to act in any way to control or influence the price something sells for; it is anti-competitive.

From my limited retail knowledge, as far as I'm aware a company is well within its rights if they feel a retailer is damaging their brand through loss leading. |

Usually the homes they buy tend to be no more than a hole in the ground. Banker skips off to a foreign country with secret bank accounts and no extradition treaty. |

Ozemail does slightly exist via iiNet who took over Ozemail assets where existing Ozemail customers keep their original Ozemail email addresses.

Glenfords went into voluntary administration in late 2011, however some of their franchise-owned stores continued to trade.

Mega Fuels can be added to the list for 2019.
And as an 'in and out' case, the Caltex brand is to slowly disappear over the next 3 years, to be replaced by Ampol: https://www.9news.com.au/national/ca...e-c64b784a92b6 |
