This should be a vote winner through rural/regional Australia.

Produce sold on to retailer for above production cost.

Less producers going bankrupt.

Then explain your thinking. It is generally the middleman that makes the most. The government would not be the middleman. Government cannot run business.
The Trade unions tried that through Bourke's. It failed. And we have the ACTU reps in government.

LOL. Government run grocery stores.

What planet are the Greens living on? Have they never heard of Aldi and IGA?



Give the man a gobstopper .... yes Aldi and IGA have made a little impact, ColesWorth are still gouging shoppers..


Perhaps they like it. Despite all the bad publicity, shoppers keep going back. No-one is forcing them to. They have four major supermarkets to choose from, plus countless discount shops, butchers, fruit and veg shops, independent grocers etc. This is just the greens trying desperately to invent a problem so they can micromanage our businesses and our lives for us.

After increasing competition in the food sector, I hope Greens aim is fully targeted at breaking open Australia's hyper-concentrated media landscape. Selling Fairfax to Nine Entertainment was a massive blunder by the Liberals.

Went to the butcher today -
I saw a piece of Porterhouse -
it was $56 per kilo.
The girl weighed it and it came to 377 grams which is  $21.15.

I said no - too much for one steak and I left without it.

I think what happened is that all their steaks are quite large so
if you want a piece there is nothing for under $10.

Even if she cut it in half it would have been 189 grams - not much steak -
and still over $10.

Food prices will continue to rise at above inflation levels.
Certainly with beef, all my local farmers say there's no money in it.
Dairy is possibly worse.

The only way to deliver profitable food is to make ultra processed carbs like white bread , biscuits, brekkie cereal, soft drinks, pizza, maccaroni cheese, fries, sausages,  caged eggs.

There's big profits in these.

And it's what the chodes fill their trolleys with.

It will eventually cost billions in increased health care.

The greens can't compete on the above cheap staple items.

They could promote fresh fruit and veges , meat fish and chicken.

But these are too expensive for the chodes.

I think the future is a drive to the bottom with less and less nutritious food and a transfer of costs to the health sector.

But Kellogg's , nestles, kraft, coca cola and indeed coles, Woolworths are major players in the pharmaceutical market and share a lot of board members at the corporate level.

They get to break the customers leg and then sell them a crutch

If prices were stagnant, or falling, the Greens would call it a problem that they must fix, and invent a way to micromanage our lives and our businesses for us.

They are like farmers. They complain when there is a drought. They complain when there is a flood. They complain when there is a fire. They complain when there is a bumper crop so prices crash.

It is actually the reserve bank's job to make sure prices rise steadily by several percent each year. It's not a problem, unless you are the sort who spends their life looking for problems.

But that means if you have money in the Bank you are losing from inflation -

but and a big but -
you get taxed on the interest and the inflation cannot be offset.

If you have money in the bank that is earning less than the inflation rate, you are an idiot who deserves to lose their money.

What - so you put it on the sharemarket?
that has gone down too -
seems like we have millions of idiots in Australia - all losing their money.
I'm only one idiot.
