This morning, ACCC announced that it had released a "Statement of Preliminary Views" on the ANZ/Suncorp deal and sought further views. 
For now, the ACCC questions "the nature, likelihood, and extend of claimed public benefits" including synergies or claims regarding investment in Queensland. 
Based on my reading of the document, this view is likely to carry over through the final decision due mid-June 2023. That means there's likely a trade here.
