别人就是明确说所有超市乘火打劫，不只是两大
'Not a duopoly, but a monopoly'
Greens Senator Nick McKim, who recently chaired a Senate inquiry examining the country's supermarket prices, said the findings from Choice were proof that price gouging was taking place.
"Extraordinarily, there is only around a 1 per cent difference in price on a basket of staple food items between Coles and Woolworths, and that shows that a choice between Coles and Woolworths is basically no choice at all," he told The Business.
Senator McKim, who publicly grilled the supermarket bosses as part of the Senate's supermarket inquiry, said the data from Choice was at odds with the evidence the committee heard in April.
"The CEOs of Coles and Woolworths were really clear in the evidence they gave to the Greens-led supermarket inquiry, that they cross-check their prices with the person they described as their major competition as a regular basis," he said.
"Ultimately, what the Choice data and prices show is that because of that cross-check, there is effectively not a duopoly, but a monopoly in the supermarket sector in Australia.
"It really doesn't matter whether you shop at Coles or Woolworths, you're going to pay almost identical prices for your food." |
