Victoria discusses two recent big developments involving pharmacy retailers - The move to scrap a $5 prescription charge and a victory by independent pharmacies in their case against Countdown supermarkets.

What does this mean for the sector and for the likes of Chemist Warehouse. Victoria also looks at commercial property trends.
