#auspol politicians love measures that look positive but actually do nothing. The code of conduct for supermarkets will do nothing. No suppliers will complain, as the consequences for them will be the loss of their business and probably much worse (you have watched ‘The Godfather’). If the government wants to get real here, it can facilitate the opening of new ALDIs #supermarkets

“In the three months to September last year, Dutton incurred $809,587.56 in incidentals. It is incredible how much it costs to do nothing. Almost $200,000 was spent on private planes and taxis. Part of this is the expense of getting to places where there are no journalists.”
