Tell the Government to Protect Us From Supermarket Rip-offs!

Right now product labels have to show weight on the front of a pack. This forces businesses to be honest about what you're really paying for and how much in the pack is just air. But, the Australian Government wants to give businesses the 'flexibility' to change labels so they could remove weight labelling from the front of pack to wherever they want. That would make it a lot easier for them to obscure the true value of their product and a lot harder for you to make informed purchases.

Don't want to spend your supermarket shop turning over every packet to find out how much is inside? You shouldn't have to. The Department of Industry is reviewing labelling requirements. They think that consumers show "little passion" about this labelling issue. We need to prove them wrong.
