For two years, a pack of Strepsils cost $5.50 at Coles. Then suddenly, it was $7. Then just as suddenly, it was on sale for $6 with a big "Down Down" discount tag. The ACCC examined that sequence of events and is now alleging that Coles is not offering discounts, but rather engaging in deceptive conduct in relation to a group of at least 245 items. Yesterday, the consumer watchdog began its case against Coles in Australia’s Federal Court, and on today’s pod, we're going to take a closer look at the hearing that could reshape supermarket pricing in Australia.
