Price gouging

The ACCC has launched proceedings, suing both Coles and Woolworths in the Federal Court for breaching Consumer Law.

Coles and Woolworths control two-thirds of Australia’s supermarket sector.

When discounts or specials were taken into consideration, Woolworths was $3.59 cheaper than Coles, and Aldi’s price remained the same.

Australia’s supermarket giants, Coles and Woolworths, will face questions about whether they’re overcharging during a cost of living crisis.
