eBay Australia's Head of Government Relations Sassoon Grigorian wrote a blog post this week focusing on the new retail paradigm – convergence.

The site is hosted by the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and its intention is to assist business and community organizations get online, or to help them transition to e-commerce, or provide practical advice about the Internet. In the post, Grigorian outlines eBay's position towards the Productivity Commission's report into the Economic Structure and Performance of the Australian Retail Industry released late last year, and says the Retail Council of Australia would be strengthened with representatives from the online retail environment.
