What are the immediate impacts of Labor's proposed supermarket price-gouging legislation given the absence of evidence supporting widespread price gouging?

The Australian election campaign has seen both Labor and Coalition parties announce policies targeting cost of living issues, focusing on supermarkets and gas prices. Labor's proposed legislation to prevent supermarket price-gouging lacks evidence of widespread gouging, as multiple inquiries have found no systematic issue. The Coalition's gas reservation scheme, while aiming to lower prices, overlooks past policy failures and lacks transparency due to unreleased modelling.

Recent polls show a slight shift in favor of Prime Minister Albanese, with Labor leading the Coalition 51% to 49% in a YouGov poll of 1500 voters. This narrow margin falls within the margin of error, but the trend suggests a decline in support for Opposition Leader Dutton. Dutton's recent policy decisions, mirroring Labor's initiatives, may have contributed to this shift.

The coalition's premise is that Russia's actions prove its untrustworthiness, necessitating security guarantees for Ukraine. Options include military training, bolstering Ukraine's defense industry, and deploying a deterrent force.
