Went grocery shopping today ... I didn't notice any price rises ... was Abbott lying about that too?

But then again, I suppose I didn't go to Brumby's ... I went to Bakers delight instead .. they seem more honest to deal with ....

Heh yeah I expect they have lost a few customers out of this . . . . dishonest bastards

SOB

Whaaaaaah!

Will the ACCC fine be necessary. Public shaming may well be sufficient.

a fine for what? raising prices? outside of controlled products they can charge what they like.

A fine for misleading the public about the cause of the rise. They can increase prices as much as they like.

they might even find that a little difficult to fine them over. how many businesses increase prices and blame X, Y and Z even though that isnt true? almost all of them. ACCC is toothless at the best of times. in this case they have no actionable complaint.

What do you mean by an actionable complaint? Is that a technical/legal term. Can't they act on the letter that provides evidence of the intention to mislead?

the letter is not evidence of intent to do anything more than raise prices that otherwise would be raised and then suggest that they blame the govt for it. BIG DEAL. a company has never blamed govt policy for price rises before?? its a big zero in terma of law. dumb, for sure. Actionable? not at all.

AUSSIE: "Speaking for myself, I could not care less about 298 human beings having their life snuffed out in a nano-second, or what impact that loss has on Members of their family, their parents..."
