Max Chandler-Mather pitches Mamdani-style $25bn plan to nationalise 200 Coles and Woolworths supermarkets

A former Australian politician, Max Chandler-Mather, has proposed a plan to nationalise around 200 supermarkets owned by Coles and Woolworths. This $25 billion plan aims to establish a publicly owned supermarket chain, which could potentially ease grocery prices for consumers. If implemented, the plan could have significant implications for the retail sector and the economy, particularly in terms of competition and pricing.

Why it matters

The proposed nationalisation of supermarkets could lead to lower grocery prices. This is because a publicly owned supermarket chain may be able to negotiate better deals with suppliers and reduce costs for consumers.
