As Australia grapples with a supermarket monopoly, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hopes the expansion of this Emirati “hypermarket” might bring in some competition.

    There is not no competition… it’s just lower on “convenience”.

    Eg how many places do you spread your weekly shopping?

      Maybe re-read my comment

      Incidentally I am fortunate to live in a small town with a farmers market, a convenience store, a dry goods store and a small supermarket all within walking distance and very few people don’t use all 4, which is more to my point that if the convenience is there people will use it.

      Blaming individuals for systemic failures is almost always counterproductive.

        Blaming corporations for cashing in on convenience is just silly. Most colesworth stores have a local butcher, poultry and grocer next to them. Don’t expect for profit businesses to help you. Walk a few extra steps.
