Is an 'egg cartel' driving up prices?

Over the past year, Australia has recorded some of the highest prices in the world for one particular supermarket staple: eggs.

This week, the ACCC launched a case against the country’s biggest egg producers, accusing them of anti-competitive conduct including acting as a cartel and culling hens to drive up prices.

On today’s podcast we're going to tell you everything you need to know about this case, and get to the bottom of why eggs have been so expensive.
