AAAC to allow Supermarkets to "work" together..

Not sure that is the best idea they've came out with.
The watchdog has just allowed Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and Metcash to coordinate with each other "when working with manufacturers, suppliers, and transport and logistics providers".
Normally that would be known as collusion and punishable under the law.
The question is when the virus thing settles down and normality returns, what is the ACCC going to do?
I think a dangerous precedent has been set here.
Having said that, it might be good for consumers IF and that's a big if the new arrangement is monitered stringently.
Although I have myself noticed price rises, some of which are a bit exorbitant

ACCC will keep an eye on it mate.

I reckon its a good idea, its all about Logistics, getting trucks and stores massed to move supply.

What does that mean in plain English? How does that benefit us?

basically they are trying to erase the growing blackmarketeering that is already everywhere even on ebay
These maggots will always try to profit out of misery & suffering and prey on the desperate

So hopefully they’ll come up with a way to stop the arseholes that approach seniors to ask if they need a hand to do their shopping, then ask them for their bank details.
