 Should the big supermarkets be broken up? Hello. Right now, everything is expensive, especially at the shops, and the two big supermarket chains have been accused of price gouging, which they deny, but appears to be happening on at least some products. Now, the Greens are pushing for powers to break up this big duopoly, and that's something that the nationals have been calling for too. There's really not a lot that brings these two influential small of hearties together, but this is something they agree on. Under the suggestion from the Greens, the competition commissioner would be able to apply to the courts to break up bits of coals and Woolworths. It could include things like having to sell off their alcohol chains or some of the brands that they own. For that to happen, though, they'd have to be found to be using their dominance in the grocery market to drive up prices to keep out their competition or exploit supply chains, similar to rules in the US and the UK. It's time that the PM actually understood how tough millions of Australians are doing it, and he should put their interests over and above corporate profits. And these big supermarkets don't have a deterrent at the moment. They don't fear the grocery code of conduct. They don't fear the ACCC because they don't have the powers and all the penalties to square up with them. But is the federal government up for it? Labour have promised to bring down grocery prices, but this kind of model doesn't appeal to them. And we have a private sector economy in Australia, and not a command and control economy. We're not the old Soviet Union. Well, I'll just remind the Prime Minister in 2019, he actually supported the vestige powers in this country. We already have them. They are instituted in the energy sector. What do you think?
