[23] Melway Publishing Pty Ltd v Robert Hicks Pty Ltd (t/as Auto Fashions Australia) (2001) 178 ALR 253, 266 (Gleeson CJ, Gummow, Hayne and Callinan JJ). It was also said that 'it may be proper to conclude that a firm is taking advantage of market power where it does something that is materially facilitated by the existence of the power, even though it may not have been absolutely impossible without the power. To that extent, one may accept the submission made on behalf of the ACCC, intervening in the present case, that s 46 would be contravened if the market power which a corporation had made it easier for the corporation to act for the proscribed purpose than otherwise would be the case': (2001) 178 ALR 253, 265-266 (Gleeson CJ, Gummow, Hayne and Callinan JJ). However, this was obiter: (2001) 178 ALR 253, 269-270 (Gleeson CJ, Gummow, Hayne and Callinan JJ).
