‘In denial of their market dominance’: Greens Senator slams Coles and Woolies CEOs

Greens Senator Nick McKim says it’s time the CEOs of Coles and Woolworths “front the Senate and face the music”, as they prepare to defend the Green-led Senature inquiry into supermarket pricing next week.

“They’ll have to answer for price gouging shoppers and putting the squeeze on farmers,” McKim said in a statement released this afternoon.

“They’ll have to explain how they are raking in billions in profits while millions of Australians are struggling to put food on the table. People have spoken about skipping meals, being forced to dumpster dive and missing out on other essentials.
