Bin Chicken 🗑𓅠<p>Allan Fels's ACTU initiated price gouging report calls for government to act against exploitative practices of big business<br><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-07/allan-fels-price-gouging-report-cost-of-living-crisis/103431866" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2024-02-07/all</span><span class="invisible">an-fels-price-gouging-report-cost-of-living-crisis/103431866</span></a></p><p>Allan Fels, former chair of the ACCC, has confirmed that big business is engaging in rampant price gouging. He'll issue a report with 35 key recommendations to the government. </p><p>How do I think this will play-out?<br>- Workers and typical household consumers will continue to suffer from price-gouging and its effects on inflation.<br>- Banks, supermarkets, aviation, and energy companies will continue to exploit their staff and customers.<br>- Prime Minister Albanese will be a wet blanket, make a token gesture to implement some of the recommended changes, and at the same time give a multi-billion dollar handout to big companies to help them cope with the changes.<br>- Malignant Potato in Chief and Leader of the Opposition, Peter Dutton, will smirk and bluster on behalf of his rich kleptocrat mates.<br>- The Greens will take credit for positive proposed changes wile also threatening to burn-down Parliament House because Albo's changes are only a small step in the right direction and not 100% perfectly aligned with Green's policy.<br>- The Murdoch Media will portray Albo as corrupt sellout to China, ineffective, and a dolphin-hugging commie.</p><p><a href="https://rants.au/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Inflation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inflation</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/GreedFlation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreedFlation</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/ACCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACCC</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/PriceGouging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PriceGouging</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/AllanFels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AllanFels</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Competition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Competition</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Monopoly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Monopoly</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Duopoly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Duopoly</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/AusLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusLaw</span></a></p>
