The ACMA has filed proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia against Balaska Pty Ltd, a solar business, and V Marketing Pty Ltd, a call centre, and their respective Directors, alleging breaches of telemarketing laws.

The ACMA has targeted the solar power industry’s telemarketing practices in recent years, as a result of ongoing high levels of consumer complaints.
The Federal Court can impose penalties for contraventions of the Do Not Call Register Act of up to $360,000 per day for corporate offenders, and up to $72,000 per day for individuals.
