Ann: AXX: Sigma, Chemist Warehouse merger raises comp.concerns, page-21

it’s hypocritical that you have the guild complaining that patient care and medical prices will increase when they just negotiated with the government to increase concession and general prices for medication by an extra dollar to not allow chemist warehouse to offer the discount to customers so they can increase their sales and profits. Absolute hypocrisy and the joke that the ACCC even mentioned this merger was to increase medication prices and profits on the consumer is a pathetic email the Pharmacy guild sent the ACCC to troll them.

There is no legs in any issue as nothing changes on the pharmacy industry with this merger just cry babies that want to keep their millions by charging Australian consumers top dollar for the same product. Just plain stupid and these independents and pharmacy guild should be called out for this hypocrisy as they still own 84 percent of pharmacies across Australia and chemist warehouse 16 percent and 50 percent of chemist warehouse sales are everyday products that Cole’s and Woolworths sell that make up their sales but its anti competitive the trolls that announced these issues today are hypocrites
