Jordan Kelly • 21 February 2024

Australians are increasingly 'up in arms' about the antics of their country's supermarket duopoly - Coles and Woolworths . . . caustically referred to by the market as 'Colesworths'.

This in-depth piece by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's respected Four Corners program is well worth the watch:

Interviewing the heads of the two chains, Four Corners reporter Angus Grigg grills the CEOs of the grocery super powers on issues of pressing concern to Australia's frustrated shoppers:  from price matching, to the appalling treatment of produce growers, and whether "specials" really are "specials".


Several insiders reveal the practices these chains would rather their customers stay safely unaware of.


This article in the West Australian comments on the storm-out of Woolworths' Chief Executive, Brad Banducci, during intense questioning by Grigg:
