More expensive petrol in Warrnambool compared to usually higher city prices and the entire west region of the state. How can this price be right? Every other price in Warrnambool considerably lower for petrol in Victoria. #ACCC #petrolgouging

Confusing extended #convo w/ #Google…
It references #Wikipedia,
“…In short, while the ACCC is the intended future of ‘America First’ security, the U.S. is currently the primary military partner of Israel in what has become a major regional war aimed at Iranian regime change.”
Huh? 🤔
What does "America First" mean…? • The ACCC shifts the focus of the United States military and the national security establishment away from the Middle East? So who's fighting Iran now? Just Israel alone? 11 sites : Actually, the U.S. military is currently heavily involved in the Middle East. While the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (ACCC) represents a shift in long-term strategic priority toward the U.S. homeland, the United States is at this moment in an active, large-scale war against Iran alongside Israel. Yahoo +2 The situation as of March 8, 2026, is as follows: • Operation Epic Fury: This is the U.S. code name for joint military operations with Israel that began on February 28, 2026. • Decapitation Strike: The opening salvo of the war killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of other top officials in Tehran. • U.S. Forces Involved: Far from leaving the fight to Israel alone, the U.S. has deployed a massive "armada," including Carrier Strike Group 3 (USS Abraham Lincoln) and Carrier Strike Group 12 (USS Gerald R. Ford). U.S. B-2 bombers have also struck Iranian ballistic missile facilities. • Regional Retaliation: Iran has responded by striking U.S. bases and embassies across the region, including facilities in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE. • The "America First" Framing: President Trump has justified this intervention not as "nation-building," but as a necessary "service for the world" to dismantle a direct threat to the American homeland before fully pivoting his military focus to the cartels in the Western Hemisphere. Wikipedia +6 In short, while the ACCC is the intended future of "America First" security, the U.S. is currently the primary military partner of Israel in what has become a major regional war aimed at Iranian regime change. w Wikipedia +1
It’s just past midnight, am laying in bed having a ‘convo’ with #Google, on the current state of #UnitedStates #Foreign policy under #Trump — all things considered… (e.g., asking how does his new #Iran war fit in with “America First” and his newly minted “Americas Counter Cartel Coalition,” #ACCC?).
#Petrol around us is up to $2.35litre for 95. Average $2.25. Where’s #Albanese and #Labor on price gouging. And of course the highest prices are on the Highway ti catch the unaware. #ACCC

As far as petrol retailers are concerned, the #ACCC always has been and always will be a TOOTHLESS TIGER.
The ACCC has always gone after Telstra and the big supermarkets, but that's about it.
It will practically do nothing to rein in " #Iran related" fuel price gouging.

My conclusion after Cole’s began it’s response to the ACCC was that “Cole’s really was out of touch with what it’s shoppers thought”. For an industry with record profits, the money has to come from somewhere and it is either the suppliers are being squeezed or it’s the shoppers being ripped off […]
It seems Woolworths have found a sneaky way to introduce a 30% price rise.
Sour Dough bread has been $6.50 for ages.
Recently, it appeared on a seperate table under a Special sign at $6.50.
This week it back were it was, but at $8.50!!!

ACCC Sues Coles Over Misleading Down Down Discounts #BreakingNews #ACCC #ColesSupermarkets #FederalCourt #Melbourne
#Coles offered ‘utterly misleading’ discounts, consumer watchdog argues in federal court case
#ACCC alleges the supermarket breached the law by offering ‘illusory’ discounts on many products with ‘Down Down’ promotion

ACCC v Coles kicks off in the Federal Court
The ACCC alleges hundreds of products had "illusory" discounts, spiking prices for weeks just to drop them back to a "sale" price higher than the original.
Coles denies it, blaming supplier costs... again.
#AusPol #CostOfLiving #ACCC
#Coles I am sure has a case to answer for but what about #Woolworths? What about all the fuel companies and other big corporates who price gauge and rip Australians off and have been for eons? Why isn't the #ACCC on their tail in court? Why only Coles?
@australia.theguardian.com @latikambourke.com
Wild idea for supermarkets after hearing about this #ACCC #coles case.
Just force supermarkets to display the cost price it cost THEM to buy it.
Let consumers decide if they are happy paying your obscene markup.
Problem solved
Why do we allow our market to lack transparency? Dishonesty.
