Australians 'slightly worse off' after ACCC approves Nine-Fairfax merger
Description

Nine Entertainment's takeover of the Fairfax Media empire looks set to be consummated after the competition regulator said it would not oppose the $4 billion deal.

But ACCC chairman Rod Sims says whiles its unlikely competition will be "substantially" reduced, Australians will probably be "a little worse off".

Rod Sims speaks with the ABC'S Peter Ryan.
