Australia’s supermarket giants are taking New Zealand-made products off their shelves in an aggressive effort to back the government's “Buy Australian” campaign. The supermarkets said that they are supporting the demands of the people, who want to buy Australian-made products.

Angry shoppers in both countries took to social media to voice their opposition towards the move made by the Woolworths and Coles supermarkets.
