$10 for bread for Aussie flood victims?

Shameful.

...Fair Trading Minister Peter Lawlor says shoppers in Ipswich and Rockhampton, in central Queensland, have reported that some traders are charging $10 for bread or milk.

"The department discusses the issues with them, and if they want to lodge an official complaint - which six people have done - then they're fully investigated," he said.
