As the big two supermarkets are being brought to court over allegedly misleading consumers with their discounts, what could this mean for our food and grocery sector? SBS' Catriona Stirrat spoke with Allan Fels, the former chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission - the very governing body that is alleging Coles and Woolworths have broken Australian consumer law. Fels raises points around a lack of competition and the importance of accountability, as well as interesting questions around who might have been aware of these alleged behaviours.
