Labor and the Liberals voting down the Greens\u2019 Divestiture Bill shows they are siding with the supermarket corporations over the interests of everyday Australians, the Greens say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe political duopoly has today voted to protect the supermarket duopoly from the consequences of their anti-competitive behaviour,\u201d Greens Economic Justice Spokesperson Senator Nick McKim said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLabor and the Liberals have sided with the profits of Coles and Woolworths. It is up to them to explain why they voted the way they did today<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTheir market dominance and political donations have allowed them to get away with it. It needs to end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you to the Nationals Senators and crossbenchers who supported the Greens today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
