There are still half-price "specials" at Coles. These are typically products that have been ~100% gouged and marketed as half price when rolled back.

This is what a pack of Tim Tams costs at the Woolworths at Southern Cross Station in Melbourne. Do you reckon it will be lower today?

    Had this been posted to an international community, you could potentially have a point.

    TIL there's a magic force which prevents anyone who's not Australian but me from posting here.

    As a matter of fact, there is such a force.
    Perhaps you should instead pop into some vegan community and tell them how you aren't affected by their issues because you consume meat?
    Or maybe a women-focussed community and tell them you aren't affected by their issues since you have a penis?
