Prime Minister pledges crackdown on supermarket price gouging | 9 News Australia

Don't worry about the supermarkets, drop the cost of energy and the price gouging of power retailers.

$30,000,000 to the ACCC. Wasted money to another useless organization. 30 million would be better sent helping the ever increasing homeless out of supermarket car parks.

Waste of time!!!

Kamala called, she wants her desperate campaign strategy back. Looking forward to the Beyoncé appearance and word salads.

Liars

Don’t care,
This is a drop in the ocean compared to the wasteful use of tax dollars.
Bureaucratic Red tape is suffocating the country ask any small business owner and the building industry it’s filled with institutions taking their cut the end result is extremely expensive goods and services. It’s legislated corruption.
The reason we have Coles and Woolworths running the show is because government over regulation makes it impossible for competition to naturally occur. The barrier to entry is so filled with bureaucracy that any sane person would just go somewhere else to start a business. Only Aldi has somehow made it.
Non of the big American chains are thriving here because of all the government hurdles.

Can we please find a real leader who has balls and long term goals for the country. Australia is sick of being pandered to by hollow quick fix nonsense

How about sorting out some of the underlying issues that make things more expensive at checkout. Fuel cost and power.

When the government props up major corporations with tax payer money, so they can post record profits, what did everyone think was going to happen? Did everyone honestly think they would lower prices? 😂😂😂

This is exactly like the housing crisis hey when you said you're going to build all them homes and you won't hey.

You have been pledging for a long time. buy no action

Why can’t he bring supermarket prices down now?

A simple standard price structure across the country is what is needed. You can go to the next suburb and prices are different for the same items. Why?
We should not be paying more then what is a reasonable mark up to cover costs at a reasonable level to farmers, suppliers, business and shops.
These price issues are not just coles and wollies – servos, local shops etc all play apart. I should be able to walk into any shop and pay the same amount no matter where i go.

How does people even live in australia? Price gouging as well

He had 3 years and did nothing. More lies. Vote Albo out

Onya Anthony. Best of luck…🎉😊

I'm loving the good old aussie Hills hoist in the background 👌🏽

Australia, do you see what is happening?! A week ago the leftist media announced that Coles and WW are some of the most profitable supermarkets in the world which is not true and now this useless labor government are blaming the supermarkets for inflation. This is all lies from Albo and they know it. The ACCC have already been over this with a fine toothed comb and they have found that there isn’t price gouging. These supermarkets work on a very thin profit margin and Albo and these parasitic ministers know this but they will blame them anyway. Don’t fall for this garbage again this election Australia. Labor and their games are beyond disgusting and it’s all rammed down our throats by their media mates. Kick these weasels out of Canberra. Vote LNP, One Nation and TOP

What Albo will do is hire a outlaw motorcycle club to threaten the supermarket companies.
😂 Lol

What about the power bills thats worse

Do I laugh now or later?

The Constitution Alteration (Prices) 1973 was a bill proposing amendments to section 51 of the Australian Constitution which would give the Commonwealth legislative power over prices. The proposed changes to the constitution were not upheld, with Australians voting against the constitutional alteration. Is Albo lying?

Because of the prices of groceries and medication and electricity gas etc its become a case of choosing whether we buy food or medication being on a pension it is very hard to survive like many people whether they are on pension or have a full time job its dam hard please stop talking and promising things just act on what you say

Albanese inflation because Government spent money

I am beyond sick of albo blaming the supermarkets for everything rather than addressing his failures. He's so deluded that he thinks $5 tax relief, which is paid for by tax payers, is helpful. It's not the supermarkets, it's everything that leads to the products getting made and delivered. At woolies the mark up on a Cadbury block of chocolate is 80 cents. Tell me how that is price gouging. The price for the supermarket to purchase that block, or anything else, has gone up due to never ending inflation and energy prices soaring.

Lies, just like the $275 dollar power bill reduction, Albos just saying this so people vote for him again.

The only one gouging the australian people is albo and the alp

Empty promises. No jobs for skilled and highly experienced workers. High inflation. Supermarkets overcharge food prices. Expensive medications at discounted Chemist Warehouse, $31 – $42 for heart tablets, GP charge consultation fees upfront and government hospitals put patients out.

Why does it have to be a political football? It's too little, too late. Don't just be reactive, be pro-active.

Australian government should provide free prescriptions for hospital patients on discharge and not charging exorbitant medications bills. Misuse of taxpayers funding on modernization of office space. Provide ongoing jobs to experienced and skilled workers.

Monday this week I was shopping at Woolies at Morningside for items not available at IGA on Stanley Street Carina, anyway, Monday at Woolworths I checked price of Nescafe Blend 43 large can was $30 and large jar 250g was $20, Wednesday I completed shopping at IGA and got the 25g jar on special for $11.50, I checked the price tag as IGA including usual retail price through them was $16. A couple of weeks back I read the supermarkets then replying they do not price gouge, if this is what they expect us the consumers to accept then they are wrong, 25% mark up of retail is all about ripping consumers off.

It’s too late why just now?! I voted you and that was a big mistake.

Bit late, too late, Albo!
Amazing how all these "promises" bloom, in the run up to fed election. 😂
