“Grocery prices are out of control. Since 2019, they’ve risen by 31% 🛒📈
Meanwhile, Coles & Woolworths make huge profits. This year, they pocketed a record $2.23 billion in just 6 months.

The Greens will take 30% off your essential groceries by introducing publicly-owned local supermarkets.”

I’ve seen a few folks comment that “Guinea-Bissau is a low income country and cannot afford the hep B vaccine birth dose, so why is this study unethical?” It’s a good question. Let me have a go at answering it. In a nutshell, researchers cannot ethically exploit poverty & scarcity to do a trial
