    Parties double down on call to split Coles, Woolworths duopoly amid soaring supermarket prices

    By being 'put out of business' you mean the locals didn't support and subsequently they went out of business.

    Parties double down on call to split Coles, Woolworths duopoly amid soaring supermarket prices

    It's a bit rich when a politician made the comparison of how much more this country pays for selected items but neglect to also compare what politician in this country are paid to the same countries he make the comparison, then you'll really see disparity .

    Parties double down on call to split Coles, Woolworths duopoly amid soaring supermarket prices

    I don't see anywhere in these comments how breaking up Woollies & Coles is going to result in any competition. If anything, it will reduce, the buying power of these 2 also make the suppliers keep their prices down. How doe a smaller retailer in the middle of nowhere in Australia ever have the...

    Aussies left fuming after giant ute hogs three parking spots

    big assumption there, why do you think it's a male, ever seen the pickup & drop off for schools. Oversize pickups are also the norm and majority of drivers are women (many of whom don't have the driving skills required for the size of the vehicle). :)

    Expert reveals the ‘amazing’ trick to ‘dry clean’ your clothes in washing machine

    'Expert'? But no mention of how the suit is ironed, that's more likely to result in damage (shinning) of the material(s). Hand washing would achieved a similar result along with wool wash as the detergent. Still think dry cleaning would give more satisfaction.

    Shocking price surge: See how much more you're paying for groceries than a decade ago!

    Aw gees thanks grandpa, tell us another story of when you were 7 and how many gob smackers you could buy or how a can of coke was 5c. Left out the basic reference of income then and now. Maybe also highlight it's not just this country. Recently returned from an trip to the US and paid $100...

    ‘Don’t change what’s not broken’: Shoppers slam new transformation to Coles’ popular service

    It's a cost saving that potentially helps with containing the cost of doing business. Why pay someone or outsource the delivery of catalogues when it can be done by 1 person on an app via their website. What's the issue. Plenty of apps available that will do the amalgamation of all the...

    Keeping it alive? Easter ‘tradition’ sparks controversy

    Not just an Easter phenomenon. Walk around any of the big supermarkets and see how many discarded drink bottles or wrappers are left on shelves. Part of the entitlement that has become a part of the way of life in this country.
