Yeah, the ACCC filed *this* one in the federal court:

"$3 million penalty for Fila's selective distribution policy for 
A.F.L.-licensed apparel

The Federal Court today ordered penalties of $3 million against FILA 
S****t Oceania Pty Limited after finding that FILA's selective 
distribution policy for the supply of Australian Football 
League-licensed apparel to retailers was a breach of the Trade Practices 
Act 1974.

....

Justice Heerey found that FILA had misused its market power and engaged 
in exclusive dealing in breach of sections 46 and 47 of the Trade 
Practices Act 1974. Section 46 of the Act prohibits cor****ations with a 
substantial degree of power in a market from taking advantage of that 
power to eliminate or substantially damage a competitor or to deter and 
prevent a person from engaging in competitive conduct. Section 47 of the 
Act prohibits certain types of exclusive dealing".
