Wake Up Australia

Listen to the full show podcast with Luke Grant filling in for Michael Mclaren

Luke Grant talk to Leith Van Onselen, the 'Unconventional Economist' from Macrobusiness about Chemist Warehouse declaring war on the Pharmacy Guild.

 

Mr Onselen recently wrote ‘the release in 2015 of the Harper Review into competition policy recommended that the Government deregulate pharmacy ownership, by dumping pharmacy location and ownership rules, noting that “such restrictions limit the ability of consumers to choose where to obtain pharmacy products and services, and the ability of providers to meet consumers’ preferences”.’

 

However, the Pharmacy Guild might finally have met its match, with Australia’s largest pharmacy retailer – Chemist Warehouse- demanding greater competition ahead of a new five-year agreement being brokered between the federal government and Pharmacy Guild, which is expected to be finalised in December.

Luke Grant talks to MP Tanya Davies, Liberal Member for Mulgoa, about her concern over the fast tracking of NSW’s recently announced abortion bill which she warns could see a perfectly healthy babies aborted just because she’s a girl.

Ms Davies asked her Lower House colleagues to ensure this repugnant practice would remain illegal in NSW, proposing an amendment to the extreme new laws that will make abortion legal up to birth.
