that hinders or prevents:
a third person supplying goods or services to a fourth person (who is not an employer of the first person or the second person); or
a third person acquiring goods or services from a fourth person (who is not an employer of the first person or the second person); and
that is engaged in for the purpose, and would have or be likely to have the effect, of causing substantial loss or damage to the business of the fourth person.
Conduct that would otherwise contravene this section can be authorised under subsection 88(7).
This section also has effect subject to section 45DD, which deals with permitted boycotts.
