Warranties on products in Australia are discouraging people from seeking out repairs and should explicitly state which rights people have under law, consumer group Choice has said.
The Productivity Commission is reviewing the right to repair in Australia, and last month released a draft report outlining proposed changes to make it easier for Australians to get products repaired.
The commission proposed the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) should provide a minimum expected durability rating for products â such as TVs, washing machines and other household products â to give consumers an idea for how long they will last and which rights they might have under Australian consumer law to get the product repaired or replaced.

SAN DIEGO If you’re a woman aged 18 to 34, you may have seen a Phexxi ad during a commercial break on Hulu. Or you could have come across the product a non-hormonal contraceptive gel that women can use within an hour before having sex while scrolling through Instagram, somewhere between a recipe for Paleo bagels and an ode to body positivity.
Phexxi went on sale in September in the United States, after receiving approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Prescriptions for Phexxi are in the low thousands, according to its publicly traded parent company, Evofem about 17,280. This is puny compared to the estimated 8.6 million women who have undergone female sterilization or the 6.6 million women on the Pill.
