Dear John,

Enough is enough.  

Albanese promised you that life would be “cheaper” under Labor.  

In reality, food prices have risen by around 12% since they came to government. And every other measure of the cost-of-living is up too.  

Well, it’s just not good enough. Some of it is inflation (brought on by Labor’s bad decisions and broken promises), but it’s also the big supermarkets thinking they can get away with anything under this weak Prime Minister.  

It’s gone too far, and we are going to stop it.  

Here is what we’re proposing, if we are elected, we will:   

• Make the Food and Grocery Code mandatory for supermarkets with an annual turnover of more than $5 billion.  

• Increase penalties for breaches of the Code. 

• Create a Supermarket Commissioner to act as a confidential avenue for farmers and suppliers.  

• Introduce sector-specific divestiture powers as a last resort to address price-gouging. 

Competitive markets benefit everyone, giving you lower prices, creating more employment opportunities for Australians and getting the best possible deal for farmers.  

The Nationals will get Australia back on track, by standing up for families, farmers, small businesses and consumers.  

Kind regards,

 

David Littleproud 
Leader of the Nationals
