It very much concerns the independents. It very much concerns the IGA. I thank the member for Kennedy for his contribution. NARGA go on to say that ‘the ACCC, through GROCERYchoice, are promoting the interests of the German niche retailer, Aldi, and working against those of Australian family grocery businesses’. Fuelwatch and GROCERYchoice are two glaring examples of the Rudd government’s spin over substance. They are prepared to spend taxpayers’ money on a useless website and on a Fuelwatch scheme which will generate higher petrol prices. The government should be condemned for their approach to these consumer issues. The ACCC should be condemned for their stance in supporting this farce. It is certainly a matter of public importance.
