On the taskforce, Richard Marles says:

The task force is there to look at how we implement legislation which will prevent price gouging. That will ensure across all markets, where there are – all sectors where you have the dominant players, where you have essential services in place to make sure price gouging in those circumstances is illegal. This is legislation which exists in other countries around the world and it should exist here as well. That is what we’re committing to. It will make a difference to ensure prices are kept as low as possible for consumers.
