A new proposal from a Greens-aligned think tank suggests establishing public supermarkets, dubbed "Fair Go Grocers," across Australia to challenge the dominance of Coles and Woolworths. Modeled after an initiative championed by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, these supermarkets would offer essential goods at discounted prices. The aim is to introduce competition into the Australian grocery market, and consequently lower costs for consumers. Proponents believe the "duopoly" of Coles and Woolworths allows them to maintain inflated prices. “Fair Go Grocers” are envisioned as a way to provide more affordable options, particularly for essential items, and force the existing major players to become more competitive. This initiative seeks to improve food security and affordability for Australian shoppers.
