Vodafone Hutchison Australia will challenge the ACCC’s decision, prematurely released, to knock back its proposed $15 billion merger with TPG.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission published its verdict a day early, by mistake, during ASX trading hours.

“This is the benefit of Vodafone joining forces with TPG.”
