About price gouging:. Is this price gouging?
School Uniforms cost nothing less than $500 to outfit one child. ($120 for 1 hat). And then they change the uniform when they go into Year 11 (seniors). The material in the uniforms are good quality but the stitching comes undone easily. They dictate what shoes they need to wear, and of course they are the more expensive shoes. Private schools get just as much government funding as public schools, but they keep on raising the school fees.
When the words mention “School Uniforms”, “Weddings” and “Funerals”, the price seem to go up a lot. Is that price gouging?
