adelcrow; I don't find Australian bananas tasteless, but I'am not prepared to pay $13 a kilo.
What surprises me, that i have not read one letter to the papers about the high prices of bananas, but the editors of the papers would not publish my letter.
The Australian people should be jumping up and down about this and not just put up with it.
I contacted two Ministers who are responsible for imports and exports and they would not even answer my correspondence.
What about you people try and bring this to the attention of the Australian people, because not many people read this forums postings.

Yes the whole Europe has been poisoned with imported bananas for 50 years.
This also tells you something about "democracy" where children can't afford bananas and citizens can not be heard.
At the same time Big Mac, Hungry Jack junk food and diabetes are flourishing among overweight "healthy" young Aussies.

If it is not corruption of the sick society, tell me what it is.

Do we need to be always politically correct.
In the world of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Where did you pay that; at my local stores the price is still $9.99 a kilo.
We have been robbed for long enough. SA,Tasmania do not grow bananas commercially, therefore if this 2 States would have been allowed to import some bananas this daylight robbery would not have occured.

At least you can buy bananas.

My grandparents can remember what it was like during WWII when there was more chance of seeing a dodo in Britain than there was of seeing a banana.

All though, even more terrifylingly, they can also remember seeing the night sky glowing orange as they looked out of the window and were told by their parents that it was Manchester burning and my grandfather can remember running to an Anderson shelter in his backyard whilst watching a Spitfire chasing a Messerschmitt overhead.

It's not as if most people eat bananas every single day, yet they are prepared to pay (what is it now?) about $6 for a Big Mac meal, when they could have got 500grams of bananas for that price.
