Yes, and require clear price per unit labeling so any size change is immediately obvious

Yes, shrinkflation is a sneaky way for corporations to hide inflation and mislead shoppers

Agree

es, but just require a 'New Smaller Size' label for six months after a change

Labor is moving toward improved labeling requirements, and while a specific six-month 'smaller size' label isn't current law, it is consistent with the transparency measures they are exploring.

Agree

Yes

No

No, it's better than raising the sticker price, which can hurt families on a tight budget

Strongly disagree

No, companies must be free to adjust product sizes to manage their own rising costs

Labor has moved away from 'hands-off' market rhetoric, instead pushing for a mandatory Food and Grocery Code and more ACcC oversight to prevent companies from exploiting rising costs at the consumer's expense.

o, this would create a ridiculous government bureaucracy to police the size of chip bags

The party generally views regulation of the supermarket sector as a necessary protection for families rather than 'ridiculous bureaucracy,' as evidenced by their expansion of ACCC powers.
