This comment from Ali is also worth a BLOG:
The Pollies can stop Coles and Woolies from squeezing the farmers dry. They have the power to allow the farmers to make a reasonable profit. If this action continues all the small to medium farmers will walk off their land causing more hardship on the rural industry and bringing more burden to the Government. Coles and Woolies will keep on squeezing the farmers dry for the sake of selfish bigger profits. Once this action reaches saturation point, retail prices will soar and the public will suffer.
For this principle we rarely shop at these stores. The bulk of our shopping is done at independent and small privately owned businesses. If no-one shopped at Woolies or Coles for ten days the Government would sit bolt upright..........................think about it.
I agree Ali, Farmers are being squeezed out of existence and usually their enemy/friend worry...

Need for inquiry: John Williams. Photo: Supplied
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission could face a government inquiry into its regulation of the financial services industry after revelations the corporate watchdog ignored whistleblowers' warnings about misconduct inside the Commonwealth Bank.
The call for an inquiry comes after a Fairfax Media investigation found ASIC waited 16 months to formally investigate tip-offs about improprieties inside CBA's financial planning division that put the life savings of thousands of clients at risk.
CBA has so far paid out $36.4 million in compensation to 725 victims who received ''inappropriate advice'' from seven financial...
The only reason ASIC can claim it clawed back $23 million is due to lobbyists like myself and others. I spoke to Greg Tanzer, Darren McShane (dDir of Enfocrement and Errol Hoopman (ASIC Barrister) about Westpoint 15 July 2001 in Commissioner Tanzer's Brisbane Offices. I flew to see him on my meager budget. ASIC has a BIG budget of $400 million plus a year and the Treasurer generously threw another $100 million at the ASIC PROBLEM end of last year. Splashes of extra Mega Cash has not improved ASIC's performance. They should try my budget.
BFCSA has achieved what a $1 billion regulatory system could not achieve. All on song: AOFM, ASIC, APRA, RBA and Federal Treasury told porky pies to Parliament: "We see no systemic issues in banking." Five wise monkeys...see our cartoon corner.
We will set up an ASIC METER so you the public can vote IF you...

It was 9am Monday, on a late February day this year, when Denise Brailey arrived at the offices of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission in Perth for a meeting with Victorian Commissioner Warren Day and lawyer Robert Allen.
Allen and Day had flown from Melbourne to find out what information Brailey, a veteran campaigner for victims of financial fraud, had about the banks and their low-doc loans. Brailey claimed to have the last bits of the jigsaw puzzle which would prove that mortgage brokers were acting as agents of the banks in foisting loans on customers who could not afford them. Though interest rates had fallen to historic lows, there were family homes on the line, lives ruined.
This $57 billion, low-doc loan sector required urgent investigation, said Brailey, who...
