The Albanese Government is cracking down on shrinkflation and working to make it easier for Australians to compare grocery prices by strengthening the Unit Pricing Code.

To help inform next steps, the Albanese Government will release a consultation paper on Monday outlining options to help shoppers make more informed choices and realise the full benefits of unit pricing.

Parliament is sitting at present, but it’s a pleasure to be joining you virtually for the launch of the Canberra Behavioural Lab. And joining you by video is proof that the framing effect works even when the frame is a TV screen.

Leon Delaney:

Andrew Leigh, good afternoon.

Andrew Leigh:

Good afternoon Leon, great to be with you.

Delaney:

Well, you’re the Assistant Minister for Competition, amongst other things. Can’t you tell Qantas to be more competitive?

Leigh:

Saskia Mabin:

Andrew Leigh, welcome to the program.

Andrew Leigh:

Thanks Saskia, great to be with you.

Mabin:

Australia is a nation obsessed with performance. We admire grit, teamwork and ingenuity on the field, and we take pride in our reputation for punching above our weight in international sport. From the pool to the pitch, our athletes regularly outperform much bigger nations.
