The NSW government's allegedly anti-competitive conditions over its privatisation of three major NSW ports will remain after an appeal by the ACCC challenging these terms was dismissed.
The competition watchdog sued over two 50-year agreements between the state government and NSW Ports Operations relating to the privatisation of the firm's subsidiaries in Port Botany and Port Kembla in May 2013 and a third 50-year agreement over the privatisation of the Port of Newcastle in May 2014.
