The Queensland Consumers Association (QCA) has renewed its call for Australian supermarkets to implement per-kilogram pricing for fruits and vegetables. This advocacy follows the identification of significant weight variations, reportedly up to 94%, in produce sold "per item" rather than by weight, potentially leading to varied effective prices for consumers. Supermarkets have stated that per-item pricing aids customers in budgeting and selecting the number of items needed. In unrelated news, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirmed that one of two women from the Iranian football squad, who had been granted a humanitarian visa, has decided to return to Iran.
