Angus Grigg and Emilia Terzon from the ABC business team dig into Bunnings’ unchecked dominance, its soaring profits, and whether regulators have turned a blind eye while it reshapes Australian retail. Â
This is the untold story of how Bunnings became a national icon – and what we lose when one brand dominates the backyard. Â
