Fruit growers quoted in 'The Australian' this morning say the Coalition's proposed divestiture powers are important, as other nations have these, so they disagree with you.
The key is while they are rarely used, they are a deterrent. A stick.
The key to lower (or not increasing) grocery prices in real terms is realistic economic policies.
With its proposed IR legislation making casual employment harder to obtain for employees and not feasible for employers, the Federal Labor government is showing its true anti-business agenda because it's so beholden to militant trade unions like the CFMEU. Anthony Albanese is a Trotskyist. Like the vast majority of his Ministers, he's not done much else or anything other than working in politics.
In contrast, the LIberal/National Coalition led by Peter Dutton and David Littleproud may not be perfect but it's heaps better than Labor, the Greens and the jokingly named 'Independents" the teals who vote constantly with Labor.
Moreforme's comment is accurate. How anyone can be a shareholder of any company, large or small, in Oz, or operate a business that's unlisted, and support Labor, the communist Greens or the teals is beyond me.
