As an average Australian household submerged in debt of over $200,000, we bear witness to the predatory pricing techniques of supermarkets Woolworths and Coles. These major corporate giants, using their stronghold on the market, continue to exploit farmers and disadvantage financially struggling Australians as well as the elderly. The cost of living continues to rise, leaving ordinary Australians in a pocket pinch.

In a world grappling with crisis and instability, it is egregious that supermarkets ramp up food prices, they fail to support local farmers and instead, perpetuate a system of exploitation. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, the wealth gap has been increasing, with bottom 20% of households holding just under 1% of total household wealth (ABS, 2021). It's a worrying trend that intensifies with the rise in food prices by these corporate chains.

It's high time we put an end to these unjust pricing structures that only favour the supermarket chains and not the consumers or producers. It's time for clear transparency in pricing, for fair practices that benefit not only the supermarket chains but also the consumers supporting them.
