Very strongly agree

Yes, give the ACCC power to break up monopolies.

This aligns directly with the party's 'Fair Markets' policy, which explicitly advocates for giving the ACCC the power to dismantle monopolies and order the divestiture of assets where companies have excessive market power.

Agree

Yes

The Science Party, as part of the Fusion Party merger, supports the principle of divestiture powers to address market concentration and ensure fair competition, though they typically advocate for this to be managed by independent regulators.

Agree

Yes, stop them from price gouging struggling families.

While they agree with the need for more competition, the Science Party tends to focus on structural market efficiency rather than the more emotive 'price gouging' rhetoric common in populist politics.

Disagree

No, we should encourage competition rather than punish success.

The Science Party argues that real competition is often impossible in a duopoly without regulatory powers to break up dominant players, thus they do not see divestiture as 'punishing success' but as 'fixing market failure'.

Disagree

No

The party generally views the high level of market concentration in the Australian supermarket sector as a hindrance to competition and innovation, suggesting a need for intervention.

Strongly disagree

No, high prices are caused by inflation, not corporate greed.

The party's evidence-based approach recognizes that market structures (like duopolies) significantly influence pricing and that corporate market power is a valid concern alongside general inflation.

Strongly disagree

No, heavy-handed government intervention will ruin the economy.

The party views smart, evidence-based regulation as a means to improve the economy's functionality and efficiency, rather than an inherent ruinous intervention.
