I assume this thread is about this current news item :
www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-07/allan-fels-price-gouging-report-cost-of-living-crisis/103431866If it isn't,.... then I dunno, I have never bought anything from no Allan Fels. Did he sell you a secondhand North 3Di sail at an inflated price that had broken batten pockets, or give you a quote to install some new windows and then not turn up for 3 years ?
In regard to the news article, I always find these sorts of things kinda humerous :
The ability of companies to charge unfair prices, .....has significantly undermined the well-being of the Australians.....Allan Fels's ACTU initiated price gouging report calls for government to act against exploitative practices of big business...
Yeah mate ... soooo you got paid to conclude "the gubberment should do something" !!
Hey, here's a hint -> THEY DID !! they established the ACCC to do exactly what you'se is implying they should do, AND they paid you to be its head for like 8 years or something.
So what the friggin heck did you do as the highly paid head of the ACCC ?
Me thinks what he is really saying is ..... "I got paid ****e-loads to be head of an inefficient gubberment organisation that failed to do what it was charged with doing....and...my shoulders are sooo slippery I now get paid ****e-loads by other people to say how much of a ****e job I did, whilst being so dumb / arrogant / up-me-own arse / (insert your own insult here) that I don't even know how dumb / arrogant / up-me-own arse / (insert your own insult here) I am".

I haven't read the actual report, I just made some assumptions from reading a crappy abc news flash. But I'm not gonna let that stop me 'cause I know that I am right.
