Great article, well written and researched. I think everyone is tired of the oligopoly of major supermarkets crying 'we have tiny margins' to investigators and courts only to turn around and report record profits for the 10th quarter in a row the next week. The banks are even worse.

After looking at a couple others articles I've added Independent Australia to my regular news sources, cheers.

Peculiarly, the headlnie makes it sound like coles and westpac are battling against greed.

This is not the case.

but that's the system we live under and we perpetuate with how we vote.

For example I point out to people that the Greens want to add dental to medicare and they tell me through a mouth full of rotten teeth that they'd would never vote for the Greens because they're to extreme.. fuck sake, look in the mirror you dipshit.

we're currently at the stage where the fault of all of this is with immigrants and hence the rise of ONP, who spends tax payer dollars meeting with Gina R, that bastion of Australia society that supports the average voter /s
