The Greens, alongside unlikely allies the Nationals, are advocating for new legislation aimed at reducing the dominance of Coles and Woolworths in the supermarket industry. This proposed bill, which has also garnered support from Senator Pauline Hanson and One Nation, seeks to address concerns over price gouging of farmers and consumers by potentially forcing these major supermarkets to divest some of their stores. Greens spokesperson Senator Nick McKim highlighted the necessity of curbing the 'ruthless' market power exercised by these corporations to ensure fair pricing. Additionally, Senator Hanson has called for an inquiry into the supermarket chains, emphasizing the need for greater protection for farmers in securing fair prices.
