Dutton says Australians have 'no hope' for grocery costs coming down if fines are only measure to curb price gouging
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has chided the Labor government for its “Mickey Mouse” approach to the review of the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct.

“I’m a former competition policy minister, I’m an economist with a PhD in economics and I’m supposed to be a Labor lackey? Look I think I’ll just leave it there," Dr Emerson said. Supermarkets could face hefty fines for breaching the code of conduct rules which would comprise of 10 per cent of annual revenue, which would be about $5.2 billion for Coles.
