Consumer watchdog zeroes in on Woolworths’ allegedly fake discounts as it meets supermarket giant in court
Vinegar, Tim Tams and baby rice are among the products to be scrutinised in the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s case
The ACCC alleges Coles and Woolworths broke Australian consumer law by offering “illusory” discounts on hundreds of everyday products through the misleading use of their respective “Down Down” and “Prices Dropped” promotion programs.

Led by Robert Yezerski, SC, Woolworths’ legal team is expected to vigorously defend the allegations, with the supermarket saying it “fundamentally disagrees” with the ACCC’s claims and at no stage misled or deceived customers.

Complaint raised w/ @[email protected] & #ACCC. If airlines use weather as cover not to fly & so save money, govt & regulators must impose stiff penalties. The airline oligopoly has had it too good for too long. Maybe why they give pollies perks: free upgrades & lounge access? #Auspol
