Comment on Yes, Australia’s big supermarkets have been price gouging. But fixing the problem won’t be easy

Stop fucking around and start getting serious.
- ban phantom branding
- band landbanking (if you don’t develop a commercial site within x years you must sell)
- give the anticompetitive oversight some fucking teeth including the power to allow market share caps and divesture
- get some goddamn policy in place to protect the growers
- audit the cunts constantly and consistently until they stop acting like greedy pigboys

It’s a common tactic - buy land in an area being developed to lock out the competition.
Or in developed areas (hands up who remembers what happened to bi-lo at chaddy…)
