Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ellen Sandell, leader of the Greens, announced a plan to trial 10 state-owned supermarkets for four years. The proposal includes a $350 million pledge to establish these stores. These new stores would offer essentials at a 30 per cent discount compared to major chains, including Woolworths and Coles, a model inspired by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's plan.
