Comment on Australian Competition Commission accuses four Aldi suppliers of forming a price-fixing cartel

I can’t help wondering where the impetus for this ACCC investigation came from. It’s a well known fact that Colesworth has fruit & veg suppliers over a barrel, they often have contracts where they barely break even: Colesworth makes all the profit. Could this accusation have come from someone actually working in the interest of Colesworth by trying to eliminate the competitiveness of Aldi by hamstringing their suppliers? It just seems such a bizarre accusation given Aldi is so much cheaper, making the attack, which is supposed to be in defence of consumers, likely to do the opposite of the intent of the law… unless I’m really missing something here.
