Why would there be more than one consumer advocacy organisation in a country?

BTW: Many people have this misconception that Choice is a for-profit. It's not. You only have to click on the About Us on their home page.

  It may not be making any profit, but it certainly still costs me money…

    Sure, if you are a member. Presumably you opted to join.

I just read yesterday that choice have a new iOS app that details product recalls for when you're looking at buying a product. The journo who wrote it up thought it was pretty comprehensive and useful.

  That would be the ACCC. Nothing to do with Choice. http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/1007909

  Stix, I'm sure at one stage you could just buy the article that you wanted to read for about $10. Is this not available anymore?
