MELBOURNE – Australia's competition regulator said on Monday it was reviewing a bid by Pacific National for Glencore's coal rail business in the Hunter Valley and would rule on the proposal by October 6.

It is already reviewing a rival bid by Aurizon Holdings, which is looking to increase its market share in the Hunter Valley against Pacific National.
