‘We’ve been calling for a mandatory code into supermarkets for a very long time,’ said Shadow Infrastructure Minister Bridget McKenzie.

The Coalition has expressed support for the Labor government’s proposed mandatory code of conduct for supermarkets.

This comes after Labor released an interim report of its review into the existing Food and Grocery Code of Conduct, which suggested imposing a mandatory code on large supermarkets to protect the interest of consumers and farmers.
