Yet another reason not to ship at coles. They are getting a beating in their ACCC hearing too. Independent grocers and Aldi should be the default for everyone. Unfortunately, most people shop at the duopoly to their long term detriment.
It’s good to see the abc actually calling out the implications and problems too. Not just for consumers, but for coles and for the countries interests. It makes it harder for coles to spin it as being for shareholders or for cost pressures etc.
Yes, farmers markets are ideal but they are not as common as independent grocers.and don’t match every schedule as sometimes only open for a few hours a week.
