About this episode
The episode discusses the ACCC's court case against Woolworths regarding misleading marketing practices and touches on political developments in the U.S.
The cost of a family pack of Oreos became the centrepiece of the opening day of a court case pitting the consumer watchdog against supermarket giant Woolworths. The ACCC says Woolies’ 'Price Drop' marketing misled customers about what discounts were being applied to a range of items. So what's been said on day two? And in the United States, the Senate gathered to grill Trump’s nominee for Federal Reserve chair amidst the backdrop of a criminal investigation against the man currently holding the position.
