‘Illegal’: Albo’s huge supermarket call

Mr Albanese is set to announce the harsher measures on day two of the election campaign to tackle price gouging, which is when businesses charge prices people deem are too high or excessive — particularly during periods of high demand or lack of supply.

“Labor will make price gouging by supermarkets illegal,” Mr Albanese said.

“Because Australian families deserve a fair price at the checkout and Australian farmers deserve a fair price for their goods.”
