USC Professor Danny Sokol  joins Partner Louise Klamka and Special Counsel Haidee Leung  to interrogate the need for digital specific regulation. Why the rush for ex ante rules?  What are the risks for Australia's transition to a more digital future? And what does all this have to do with soup? Plus two red lights from the ACCC for Qantas, what The Merge means for the future of Web3, no ports in a perfect storm for the Port of Geelong, and we creep up on small geographic markets in Woolworths' latest acquisition effort.
