Supermarket duopoly fraud against farmers

Australia is truly a microcosm, a system unto its own, where the corporatocracy rule.

Australians are given the illusion that they have freedom of choice, free speech, and have elected politicians who are currently in government.

In many industries the top purse strings are controlled by the few, and in some cases one entity. What Australians believe they have the freedom of choice by purchasing from other companies, in essence comes back to the same retail goliath.

The Coles-Myer retail group owns many labels that the public are not aware of. Similarly the so called opposition ‘Big W’ own many favourite Australian brands.

The two retail supermarket giants are holding Australian consumers to ransom, being caught in collusion with each other, with no real consequences by the corrupt authorities.

Information recently obtained by corpau, which has incidentally been going on for decades, is that the supermarket duopoly is defrauding the Aussie battler (farmers) millions of dollars worth in income annually.

The media is all too aware how vulnerable the Aussie 'battler' is, and how disgusting it is to take advantage of the Aussie 'battler', but curiously this information escapes the eagle eye of the Rupert Murdoch Empire.

Supermarkets purchase goods, e.g fruit and veg, at an ‘agreed’ (read not negotiable price) from the Aussie farmer. 

The financial transaction does not take place immediately, nor in the near future, but rather the farmer has to wait for the money to come in, once the supermarket has sold the items, meanwhile the supermarket rakes in the dollars earned from the interest on the capital.

Adding more salt to the wounds, the supermarkets are part of a fraud, in that they claim the fruit was rotten by the time it was to be sold, therefore they could not sell it.

They then force a price to the farmer which is one tenth of the original ‘agreed’ price, on the allegedly only sold fruit.

The purpose of this fraud is so that the Aussie battler farmer cannot afford to operate the farm, and the farms are bought out by the supermarket duopoly.

This is a reality that the corporate media are reluctant to report on, as they are subservient to the government and corporatocracy.
