Based on ANF advice to newsagents, the organisation appears to be collectively bargaining on behalf of newsagents with Allco and Mobius in pursuit of a discounted settlement over newsagent’s Bill Express equipment rental agreement.
I cannot find authorisation from the ACCC on their Collective bargaining notifications register for the ANF to act on behalf of newsagents on this Mobius issue. Nor has the ANF sought permission from newsagents on this.
Newsagents may wish to email the ANF asking that they not represent them in discussions with Mobius and Allco. Emails could be sent to: reception@anf.net.au.
The ANF would be well advised to compare the number of newsagents registered with its legal strategy compared to those registered with the Class Action which was started by an independent group of NSW newsagents. I expect that the numbers will show newsagents want the Bill Express equipment agreement challenged before there is any consideration given to negotiating a settlement.
the anf cannot approach either party and cannot act for agents.Their active role in promoting and selling of bill express clearly shows that are not impartial. The anf or any of its officers past or present should not be invovled with any negotions regarding bill express. There is clearly a conflict of interest on this matter.
no one has yet offerered up a reason to remain a member of said joke outfit.

I guess someone has hurt feelings.
