As an Aussie, I’m not surprised by Umart (MSY)’s actions - they’ve ALWAYS been dodgy and have been fined multiple times by our consumer protection body (ACCC).
The customer in the article will be made whole (eventually), and the retailer (possibly supplier and vendor as well) may all face fines too.
ACCC is one of the best things about Australia, shame it's underfunded. Seriously, pump bucks into the ACCC, fine the fuck out of dodgy cunts all over the place - government revenue stream (betcha it's profitable) and happy voters. But lobbying, sigh.
