As you may have heard, on 14 August Parliament launched an inquiry into Australian ‘big box’ retailers to find out more about how they set prices and treat suppliers. From the Inquiry, we’re hoping that Bunnings will be included in the Food & Grocery Code of Conduct, or that a new Code protecting growers will be established.
At the same time, the government has recommended that GIA and Bunnings work together to agree on an Industry Framework that sets out the rules between Bunnings and suppliers. While a Code of Conduct would provide more certainty for growers, we are discussing a framework with Bunnings as an alternative way of improving the trading environment for growers.
We know it’s a lot to wrap your head around, so we’ve developed a Q&A to answer your questions.
