The Australian federal government and independent brewers call for investigation into the market dominance of Lion (Kirin-owned) and Carlton United Breweries (Asahi-owned), which produce 85% of Australia's beer. The consumer watchdog, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, is urged to scrutinize the market power, as claims suggest they are suppressing competition and increasing prices.
