Australian Greens propose nationalising over 200 Coles and Woolworths stores and opening government-run grocery shops in a $25.1bn plan.
The Australian Greens are proposing to nationalise over 200 Coles and Woolworths supermarkets and open hundreds of government-run grocery stores under a $25.1bn plan. The proposal is being put forward by Max Chandler-Mather, a former Greens MP and head of the Greens Institute.
Chandler-Mather says the policy would ease grocery prices. The plan would use new forced divestiture laws to achieve the nationalisation, taking inspiration from New York mayor Zohran Mamdani's proposal for publicly owned grocery stores.
