actually, we used to subscribe to that, when I was a kid. and it wasn't half bad, i remember.
consumer magazine... and this television program 'fair go' that used to follow up on consumer complaints. if it got a bunch about a particular person or business or product then they would do a bit of a filmed inquiry. try and interview relevant parties or demonstrate the product for themselves, or whatever.
you know, the sort of thing you might do when there isn't any actual legal protection or accountability. i suppose it's a good thing that consumer isn't free (aka government sponsored) because the government refuses to sponser anything that is actually in the public good...
i joined up. i see they do reviews of health insurnace and so on and i can read issue archives going back...
i guess it only works because they restrict to consumer law.
anyway...
