Why this single image of an old lady outside Coles is making Australians angry: 'So messed up'

A picture shared to social media which appears to show police officers going through an elderly woman's grocery shopping has outraged Australians. The supermarket's CEO Brad Banducci was threatened with a six-month jail sentence and a $5,000 fine for earlier this week failing to answer questions at a heated Senate inquiry into supermarket pricing. A Greens senator repeatedly asked Mr Banducci to disclose Woolworths' return on equity, a key measure of profitability at Australia's biggest supermarket chain. Woolworths boss Brad Banducci was threatened with being charged with contempt of court during a Senate hearing Inquiry chair and Greens senator Nick McKim warned Mr Banducci a failure to answer the question directly, if he knew the answer, could lead to a contempt charge.
