  Some additional context not provided in this article is that Woolworrths is being sued for something very similar. In fact, Woolworths was actually the first supermarket to start doing this, with an even shorter cycle, and there was an internal debate within Colss as to whether it should report Woolworths to the authorities. Instead, Coles decided to copy the fake discount strategy. Yet more evidence that these supermarkets are not real competitors and work to maintain their financially beneficial duopoly at all costs.
