What happened
A Greens-affiliated think tank outlined a plan for the federal government to establish a national network of publicly owned supermarkets. This proposal involves the federal government buying up 200 Coles and Woolworths stores and opening over 400 new shop fronts. The plan aims to sell groceries on average 20 per cent cheaper than current market prices.

Why it matters
The proposal suggests this national network could cost $25.1 billion over five years, making it one of the most expensive government programs. This initiative is presented as a 'carbon copy' of a policy currently being piloted by the City of New York.
