My question is to the Prime Minister. In Coles, pink lady apples are $8.90 a kilo. It's no surprise that Woolworths advertise the same apples for the same price. Australian families are struggling to afford basic groceries. One in three kids regularly have no school lunch due in part to supermarket duopoly price fixing and price gouging. Will the government urgently consider bringing forward the timeline for supermarkets to comply with the ban on excessive pricing of groceries that's not due to come into effect until 1 July?
