Labor going after supermarkets rather than 'tackling inflation': Jane Hume

If Labor were “really serious” about driving down high food prices, they would tackle inflation and not target companies, argues Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume. It comes as the chief executives of Woolworths and Coles are set to face a Senate Inquiry into supermarket prices in Canberra. “If Labor was really serious about getting down the cost of groceries, they would tackle the big issue, which is inflation," Ms Hume told Sky News Australia. “The drivers of those cost of grocers. “They would be tackling high energy prices. “They wouldn’t be imposing restrictive industrial relations laws on companies like Coles and Woolworths.”
