One merger matter on the ACCC's public acquisitions register: an acquisition notified under Australia's mandatory merger regime, or an application for a notification waiver. The record key is the ACCC's own matter identifier (e.g. MN-01016), so a matter is addressable at at://<did>/fyi.mergers.matter/MN-01016 without a lookup. Published by mergers.fyi, which mirrors the register; the ACCC is the source and does not itself publish to the ATmosphere.
