Supermarkets not showing fairness ‘from the farmgate to your plate’: Littleproud

Nationals Leader David Littleproud says Australia’s major supermarkets aren’t showing fairness and transparency “from the farmgate to your plate”. Mr Littleproud’s remarks come as the Coles and Woolworths CEOs face a Senate inquiry into price gouging. “We produce enough food and fibre for … a nation of 27 million people, and there is not fairness and transparency from the farmgate to your plate,” he told Sky News Australia. “We’ve got a responsibility of the privileged position as legislators to do something about that and make sure there is fairness and transparency. “The Nationals have said that; Labor’s turned their back on it.”
