Tyrrell welcomes Greens support for Aldi campaign
Breaking down barriers: Why bringing Aldi to Tasmania could save households hundreds annually.
They say imitation is the best form of flattery! I’m glad the Greens are finally on board my campaign to bring ALDI to Tassie. The more the merrier - if this puts more pressure on ALDI to make the leap across Bass Strait, I’m happy with that.
Senator McKim’s plan is to have another review to get ALDI here. How many supermarket reviews do we need to have? I want cheaper grocery prices for Tasmanians, not another review. We know what the issues are. It’s time to give the ACCC teeth to address them.
The national competition watchdog says bringing ALDI to town saves people an average of $890 a year. That could be the difference for someone keeping their heater on in winter or not. Or being able to afford for your child to play school footy this year. In a cost of living crisis, every cent counts. That’s why I’m asking ALDI to hear the call from Tasmanians and come on down.”
Senator Tyrrell’s petition to bring ALDI to Tasmania has been signed by thousands of Tasmanians.
