If you’re worried about the growing cost of your groceries, rent or energy bill, then you’re not alone.

We’re being ripped off by big corporations, who are raking in massive profits during a cost of living crisis.

Since Labor took office, the cost of living has skyrocketed yet they’ve done nothing to stop big corporations from exploiting this crisis.

The major parties will only ever tinker around the edges of this crisis because they take millions in donations from those same banking, supermarket and energy corporations.

The Greens are on your side. We’re taking a stand against this unchecked greed and have just introduced a Bill to Parliament to make price gouging illegal.

Our plan will make it illegal for corporations with substantial market power to charge excessive prices for goods and services.

This will rein in corporate greed and reduce the cost of food and groceries for everyone.

Similar laws introduced in the European Union have been widely successful, protecting consumers from unjustified price hikes.

The choice is clear: side with the big corporations profiting from people’s pain, or side with the everyday people who are struggling to get by.
