Great article, well written and researched. I think everyone is tired of the oligopoly of major supermarkets crying 'we have tiny margins' to investigators and courts only to turn around and report record profits for the 10th quarter in a row the next week. The banks are even worse.

After looking at a couple others articles I've added Independent Australia to my regular news sources, cheers.
