Good afternoon,

Coles and Woolworths are facing claims they promoted “misleading” discounts on hundreds of common supermarket products in a blockbuster court case launched by the competition regulator.

As inflation was raging and claims of gouging running hot, Coles and Woolworths were repeatedly telling customers to trust them; they were on the side of shoppers when it came to keeping prices as low as possible, writes Eric Johnston.

Brian Craighead says just like Hezbollah’s exploding pagers and walkie-talkies, Australia’s home and large battery storage systems present a threat to national security, citing flawed software.
