The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ACCC is taking supermarket chain Coles to federal court for allegedly misleading discount campaigns. The focus is on the allegation that prices were raised in the short term and were then advertised as special offers. The process is considered groundbreaking for the interpretation of “misleading conduct” in consumer law and could have heavy penalties and a signal effect on the entire retail sector. - Die australische Verbraucherschutzbehörde ACCC zieht die Supermarktkette Coles wegen angeblich irreführender Rabattaktionen vor das Bundesgericht. Im Zentrum steht der Vorwurf, Preise seien kurzfristig erhöht und anschließend als Sonderangebote beworben worden. Der Prozess gilt als wegweisend für die Auslegung von „irreführendem Verhalten“ im Verbraucherrecht und könnte hohe Strafen sowie Signalwirkung für den gesamten Einzelhandel haben.

Then just as suddenly, it was on sale for $6 with a big "Down Down" discount tag. The ACCC examined that sequence of events and is now alleging that Coles is not offering discounts, but rather engaging in deceptive conduct in relation to a group of at least 245 items. Yesterday, the consumer watchdog began its case against Coles in Australia’s Federal Court, and on today’s pod, we're going to take a closer look at the hearing that could reshape supermarket pricing in Australia.

Bondi Beach terror attack gunman, Naveed Akram has, appeared in court for the first time.The 24-year-old faces 59 charges including 15 counts of murder and one of committing a terrorist attack over the shooting in December.Akram's father Sajid Akram was killed by police during the shooting at Bondi on December 14, which took place while a Jewish event Chanukah by the Sea was being held in Archer Park.Mr Akram's lawyer says it 's too early to say how his client will plead.Police believe an elderly man mistakenly kidnapped from his home in north-west Sydney is still alive.It's alleged a number of offenders grabbed 85-year-old Chris Baghsarian from his North Ryde bedroom early on Friday morning and bundled him into a car.Police say the kidnappers have the wrong man and his family is not involved in any criminal activity.The ACCC's bombshell lawsuit against supermarket giant Coles has kicked off in Melbourne this morning.  The consumer watchdog is accusing the supermarket giant of ripping off customers by hiking prices for a short period of time, before dropping them for their "Down Down" promotion.Coles claims the price rises were justified, citing high inflation and supplier demands.  

Coles has been accused by the consumer watchdog of a planned campaign to mislead customers on the prices of hundreds of items.On the opening day of a Federal Court case in Melbourne, the ACCC claimed the conduct by Coles was planned and that it would have violated the supermarket's internal policies but they were changed prior to the Down Down program discounts in question.Coles has rejected the allegations that the discounts were fake and says rampant inflation was behind the price increases.  The Bondi Beach terror attack gunman Naveed Akram has appeared on a video link before a Sydney court for the first time since his arrest in December.It was a largely procedural mention of the case about suppression orders over the identities of survivors.The 24 year old is facing nearly 60 charges, including 15 counts of murder and one of committing a terrorist act, over the shooting at Bondi during a Jewish event on December 14.He is yet to make a plea.Police believe an elderly man mistakenly kidnapped from his home in north-west Sydney is still alive and are pleading for his safe release.It's alleged three people kidnapped 85-year-old Chris Baghsarian from his home in North Ryde early on Friday morning.The ABC understands a video of Mr Baghsarian was filmed by his kidnappers and distributed by his captors, and that police believe the kidnappers may have been targeting a different family nearby.. with links to organised crime.But police say they have the wrong man. 

The opening day of a landmark case in the Federal Court between the ACCC and Coles has adjourned.The consumer watchdog is seeking to prove the supermarket giant breached consumer law by misleading customers with fake discounts.Coles' legal counsel has told the court that the case hinged on whether the supermarket was justified in lowering the prices of a basket of goods, raising them for a brief period, and then lowering them again.Earlier, lawyers representing the A-triple-C labelled the price discounts as "utterly misleading".Police investigating the disappearance of four-year-old Gus Lamont on a remote South Australian station say they've charged a person with unrelated offences.It's understood Gus Lamont's grandmother, Josie Murray, was arrested and charged with firearms offences, as police conducted another search of Oak Park Station, near Yunta.Police say the charges aren't related to the disappearance of the boy from the property in September.Earlier this month, they said a person living at the property was considered a suspect in Gus's disappearance, but stressed his parents weren't being investigated.American journalist, Savannah Guthrie, has appealed to the kidnappers of her 84 year old mother, Nancy, to "do the right thing" and release her.Police believe Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her home in Arizona two weeks ago .They are now examining DNA from a glove recovered three kilometres away, which appears to match the pair worn by a masked prowler seen in doorbell camera footage.

The consumer watchdog has accused Coles of ripping off customers with fake discounts in a bombshell case going before the federal court today. The ACCC alleges the supermarket giant misled customers with fake discounts on products which were put onto "Down Down" promotions. Coles is defending the case, saying the program did offer a genuine discount and any price increases were due to supplier demands and inflationary pressures.New Liberal Leader Angus Taylor insists nuclear power should be part of Australia's energy mix. The Opposition last year promised to build nuclear power plants at seven sites if it won the election.Mr Taylor says nuclear power shouldn't be discounted when considering how to reduce emissions and power costs. The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny says she's determined to continue his fight for justice, after labs in Europe determined he was poisoned with a rare toxin found in South American dart frogs.The UK, France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands say tests on samples taken from Mr Navalny's body "conclusively confirm" the toxin's presence.Yulia Navalnaya says she's glad the finding has been made, two years after her husband's death.

The consumer watchdog has accused Coles of ripping off customers with fake discounts in a bombshell case going before the federal court today. The ACCC alleges the supermarket giant misled customers with fake discounts on products which were put onto "Down Down" promotions. Coles is defending the case, saying the program did offer a genuine discount and that any price increases were due to supplier demands and inflationary pressures.Liberal senator James McGrath says the Liberals want to make it clear to Australians what party stands for, and that Australians can expect to see a series of policy announcements from the Opposition in the "coming days and weeks".Since winning Liberal leadership in Friday's spill, Angus Taylor and his deputy Jane Hume have put the economy, childcare, immigration, and nuclear energy on their policy agenda.Senator McGrath says the party's preparing for a fierce battle in the Farrer by-election, with the Nationals, One Nation and independent Michelle Millthorpe also intending to contest the seat. The Munich Security Conference wrapped up in Germany a few hours ago, after three days of meetings and speeches from world leaders covering everything from the war in Ukraine to regime change in Iran.The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio used his speech to reassure Europe the US doesn't plan to abandon the transatlantic alliance.Meanwhile the European Union's foreign policy chief claimed Russia has barely made progress in four years of its war with Ukraine, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted his country needed a 20-year security guarantee from the US before agreeing to any peace deal.America's top foreign diplomat Marco Rubio says the US is trying to strike a successful deal with Iran on its nuclear program, while warning it won't be easy.  Tehran and Washington are holding a fresh round of nuclear talks this week in Geneva, as the US continues to expand its military presence in the middle east.Iran's deputy foreign minister says if sanctions relief was on the table, Tehran might be open to compromise on its nuclear program. Australia's continued its success at the Winter Olympics in Italy, with skier Matt Graham claiming bronze in the dual moguls.The medal's Australia's sixth of the Games and third in mogul skiing, after Jakara Anthony's and Cooper Woods's gold medals last week. Meanwhile Adam Lambert and Josie Baff have finished fourth in the big final of the mixed team snowboard cross, and Ally Hickman has made it to the final of the women's snowboard slopestyle, while 2022 bronze medallist Tess Coady, has missed out on qualification.

A court showdown between the consumer watchdog and Coles starts today in the federal court.The ACCC's suing Coles, accusing it of misleading customers for more than a year with fake discounts on products which were put onto "Down Down" promotions. Coles is defending the case saying price rises were due to rampant inflation impacting suppliers and the supermarket. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has downplayed the prospect of a military conflict with Iran, saying President Donald Trump is interested in a diplomatic solution to current tensions over its nuclear program.Mr Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner are on their way to Europe, for another round of talks with Iran on Tuesday.The Iranian regime has expressed a willingness to negotiate, if the US discusses dropping certain economic sanctions.Australia's success at the Winter Olympics has continued, with flag-bearer Matt Graham winning bronze in the men's dual mogul skiing.Graham claimed his country's fifth medal of the Games and became the third Australian to make the podium in the discipline, after Jakara Anthony and Cooper Woods' gold medals. Jindabyne duo Josie Baff and Adam Lambert finished fourth in the big final of the mixed team snowboard cross and 16-year-old Ally Hickman has qualified for the final of the women's slopestyle at the Winter Olympics in Italy, while Mela Stalker and 2022 bronze medalist Tess Coady failed to make the cut.

Consumer group Choice says a blockbuster lawsuit by the ACCC against Coles starting today in the Federal court, could lead to a major shake-up of retail pricing.The consumer watchdog alleges the supermarket giant misled customers with fake discounts on products which were put onto "Down Down" promotions. Choice's says if the ACCC wins, it could help set guidance around the use of so-called was/now pricing. White House Border tsar Tom Homan says a push by the Democrats to ban immigration enforcement agents from wearing masks will put them at risk. Senate Democrats are using a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security as leverage to push for changes to immigration enforcement — including a ban on masks, mandatory body-worn cameras, and an end to racial profiling by agents. The legislation failed to pass last week, leading to a partial government shutdown. But Tom Homan says threats and assaults on agents have increased, and that agents don't arrest and detain people based on race. Australia's success has continued on day nine of the Winter Olympics, with flag-bearer Matt Graham claiming bronze in the men's dual mogul skiing.Jindabyne duo Josie Baff and Adam Lambert came close to adding to the medals, finishing fourth in the big final of the mixed team snowboard cross.And 16-year-old Ally Hickman qualified in sixth for the women's slopestyle, while 2022 bronze Tess Coady finished 27th to be a shock non-qualifier for the final. 

Coles will be in Federal Court today, facing allegations by the ACCC that it misled customers.  

The ACCC has launched a major legal battle against Coles and Woolworths, alleging that famous discount campaigns are based on misleading price hikes rather than genuine savings. Retail expert Graham Hughes joined Dean & Sofie on 4BC Breakfast to warn this "case of the century" could force a massive overhaul in how all Australian businesses display sales and historical pricing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A high stakes Federal Court case between Coles and the consumer watchdog is getting underway, which could dramatically reshape what Australians pay at the checkout.The ACCC is accusing the supermarket giant of ripping off customers with "illusory" or fake discounts: hiking prices for a short period of time, before dropping them for their "Down Down" promotion.Coles claims the price rises were justified, citing high inflation and supplier demands.  The federal treasurer still isn't ruling out changes to the capital gains tax discount on investment properties.Officials from the treasury department have all but confirmed they've provided options to the government about how to reduce spending and improve equality in the housing market. Jim Chalmers has again downplayed the possibility of changes but says generational inequality is a key focus of the government.Meanwhile new opposition leader Angus Taylor has written to the Prime Minister requesting a bipartisan taskforce be set up... to find areas to trim in the upcoming budget. Skier Matt Graham has headlined day nine of the Winter Olympics for Australia, claiming bronze in the dual mogul skiing in Livigno. Elsewhere, 16-year-old Ally Hickman has qualified for the final of the women's slopestyle although 2022 bronze medallist Tess Coady missed out.And snowboarders Josie Baff and Adam Lambert have fallen just short of adding to Australia's medal tally, finishing fourth in the big final of the mixed team cross.

Ashurst’s Elena Lambros sits down with Australia’s inaugural Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Chris Evans, for a grounded, practical conversation about why modern slavery is no longer just a compliance topic but a core business risk that belongs in every boardroom. Drawing on his work with major corporates, regulators and cross-sector groups, Chris explains why finding modern slavery in a supply chain should be seen as a system working, not failing. He highlights the shift businesses need to make, from producing reports to tackling real risk, and walks through the areas where exploitation most often hides, including labour hire, subcontracting and high-risk global supply chains. Elena and Chris also explore how the ACCC’s recent guidance is clearing the way for companies to collaborate more confidently on remediation and due diligence.

It's a tug-of-war as old as aviation itself – airlines and airports wrangling over fees – and now, the airlines have the ACCC (at least partially) on their end of the rope. The consumer watchdog and the airline industry are both pushing for an overhaul to the current regulations which they say benefit "geographic monopoly" airports like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and lead to higher fees and airfares – but are they right? On this week's Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake and David wade into the eternal stoush and examine the arguments on either side – as well as what the airports need all that money for. Plus, the latest in the saga of Western Sydney Airport's delayed metro line; passenger numbers continue to surge; and what's the latest on China's answer to Boeing and Airbus?

As artificial intelligence rapidly becomes a part of everyday life for Australians, the ACCC is warning the technology also brings growing risks. In its AI industry snapshot, the consumer watchdog says AI is being used to fuel fake reviews, ghost websites and increasingly sophisticated online scams, making them harder to detect – and warns the rapid expansion of AI-enabled products and services could pose potential harms to consumers and competition if left unchecked. SBS's Stephanie Youssef spoke with ACCC Chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb about whether AI is creating a new generation of digital monopolies and why it's calling for stronger monitoring powers to keep pace with the evolving industry.
