‘Really stiff competition’ for retailers in cost-of-living crisis

Australian Retailers Association Fleur Brown says there is “no doubt” that Australia is in a cost-of-living crisis. Ms Brown told Sky News host Chris Kenny that it has been “strongly on retailers minds”. “They know they’ve got to compete really hard for that dollar. “We saw that reflected in the Black Friday spending success. “Which were largely extremely genuine sales because retailers know it’s really stiff competition this year.”
