Opposition leader Peter Dutton's plan for new divestiture powers to break up major hardware and grocery retailers has caused a split within the Coalition. Some Liberal MPs feel ambushed by the policy, which they believe will lead to higher supermarket prices. The Greens and the Coalition have found themselves supporting the same idea, creating a 'moment of choice' for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
