Greens push public supermarkets to cut Australian grocery bills

Original: coles

A Greens-backed think tank proposal says publicly owned supermarkets in Australia could cut household food bills by as much as a quarter. The idea is being debated as shoppers continue to grapple with high grocery prices and scrutiny of the market dominance of Coles and Woolworths. Supporters argue public competition would discipline pricing, while critics question whether government-run retail could match private efficiency.

Why now: Ongoing public anger over supermarket prices and duopoly power in Australia keeps proposals to rein in Coles and Woolworths in the spotlight.
