Yes it is a silly idea symptomatic of cost of living, which our government is ignoring. Are any of the people commenting on a government pension? Has anyone tried getting a job in the current climate, where if you are young you are inexperienced, if you are older you are not up to it. I...

The supermarkets claim only a 2% or so profit margin. How can they afford to sell at this low price? Also given their 'low profitability' how can they afford to hive people with loyalty cards a 10% discount?

Our PM will do nothing that is why he wants an inquiry. Kick it down the road, and too scared to take a Nonsense. First, do you want to live in a polluted world? Can we put the waste in your backyard? High labour costs are a false argument. Do you think there are no other business costs...

Our PM will do nothing that is why he wants an inquiry. Kick it down the road, and too scared to take action to enforce better behavior. Other countries have super profits tax and divesture laws, but our PM too timid to take those steps

There are many other additional costs apart from wages, such as rent, energy. Business keep whinging about wages, but say nothing about other cost increases. How much has insurance increased? The sky is always going to fall in with a wage increase but so far never has. Time to stop the...

We have 4 large banks and they do not really compete or consider our interests Ps Banducci is / was from Woolworths

Problem is Albo does not do much for fear of a bad reaction

Sadly true

Our politicians are unlikely to do anything. To the LNP greed is good, for Labor, too scared to do anything. Break them up and bring in a super profits tax
