“Price gouging is a major driver of inflation, and Australians are copping it every day,” Greens Economic Justice Spokesperson Senator Nick McKim said. “When big corporations with market power jack up prices simply because they can, that feeds inflation right through the economy” “Supermarkets are a clear example, but this problem goes far beyond the checkout.
Price gouging is happening across the economy, and it’s keeping inflation higher for longer.” The Greens’ Bill would make price gouging illegal across the economy and give the ACCC the powers it needs to investigate and prosecute corporations that exploit their market power to unfairly hike prices. “Instead of leaving the inflation fight to the Reserve Bank and interest rate rises, the government should be tackling corporate price gouging, which is one of the major inflation drivers.” “Labor promised to act on price gouging.
Tomorrow, they’ll have the chance to prove it.” “If Labor is serious about bringing inflation down and easing cost-of-living pressure, they should support the Greens’ Bill and ban price gouging across the economy.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
