Why the ACCC is suing Coles and Woolworths

ACCC
The ACCC will be taking Coles and Woolies to court for allegedly misleading customers about prices. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission reckons that the supermarket giants have breached laws that protect consumers by selling some items at regular prices, then increasing prices, then dropping the prices to their regular prices and saying that they're discounted. The ACCC says hundreds of products from Coles and Woolies have been displayed with misleading prices including biscuits, cat food, dishwashing tablets, the list goes on. And that the supermarket giants have made a pretty big profit from it. So the ACCC is now suing Coles and Woolies, saying it wants to bring in tougher penalties and see the companies make up for what's happened through things like community service. Woolworths has said it will review the claims and work with the ACCC, while Coles says it will defend itself in court.
TORNADO
The Bureau of Meteorology has confirmed that a storm that swept through regional Victoria last month was actually a tornado. The BOM reviewed CCTV footage from the 25th of August that shows 30 seconds of the tornado as it tears through Boorolite. It ended up leaving about a 25 kilometre long trail of destruction as it sent dirt flying, ripped up trees and even flattened garage doors. Turns out here in Aus there are actually quite a few tornadoes every year.
AFL
Over the weekend, we found who will go head to head in the AFL grand final. The Swans soared through to the big dance with a 95 to 59 win over Port Adelaide on Friday night. While Saturday's hit out between Brisbane and Geelong was a little more competitive. With less than three minutes to go, the Cats took the lead before the Lions answered with two goals to secure their grand final spot.
FORMULA ONE
Lando Norris has won the Singapore Grand Prix to claim his third race of the season. Aussie Oscar Piastri also made it onto the podium coming in third while Daniel Ricciardo finished in 18th in what's rumoured to be his last race for RB. But there was another race on show between a lizard and some of the marshals who were trying to clear the track look at those little legs go.
RAT'LYMPICS
Finally to the Rat'lympics, yeah you read that right. This special event rolls around every four years and sees a bike community in Canberra called 'Rat Patrol Oz' build their own bikes and participate in unique events like who can throw a bike frame the furthest and bicycle soccer.
PESTO PENGUIN
Move over Moo Deng because there's a new Zoo Sensation - Pesto the big baby penguin. Pesto is Melbourne Aquariums largest chick ever and has become a social media star, bringing in large crowds wanting to check out the big bubba. Pesto currently weighs 20 kilos, which is more than both his parents combined, and eats about 25 fish a day.
POLE CLIMBING
The 25 metre pole climbing world champions were held over the weekend in London where contestants climb a 25 metre pole, obviously. This year Dan Whelan claimed his fourth world championship title in the men's comp, while Chloe Barnard took out the women's.
OKTOBERFEST PARADE
Hundreds of people paraded through Munich in Germany for the annual Oktoberfest costume parade. Which means a whole lot of lederhosen and dirndl dresses. Oktoberfest started back in 1810 as a celebration for the wedding of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. People had such a good time they've continued to celebrate at the same time every year ever since.
