For a long time, big supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths have been using their power to make things difficult for farmers, workers, and shoppers. They make a lot of money while many people struggle to afford food and housing.
These two supermarkets control most of the market, so whatever prices they set affect millions of Australians.
The Greens, a political party, want to hold these supermarkets accountable for their actions. They started an investigation in the government to look into how Coles and Woolworths are pricing things and hurting people.
Since starting the investigation, they've heard from lots of people who are having a hard time because of high prices. Many people can't afford healthy food because of what these supermarkets charge.
This isn't just about money; it's about people's health and well-being. And it's not fair because while people suffer, the big supermarkets make huge profits.
Farmers are also affected. They're not getting paid enough for their products, even though the supermarkets are charging customers more.
Most people would shop somewhere else if they could, but these big supermarkets have a lot of power and influence.
The Greens are trying to change things by making sure farmers, workers, and shoppers get a fair deal. They're pushing for policies to protect farmers and make sure everyone can afford food.
The government is starting to pay attention because of the Greens' efforts. They're looking into the supermarkets' actions and might make some changes.
But what really matters is what the government does next. The Greens are determined to keep fighting for a future where everyone can afford food and farmers are treated fairly.
