I showed my evidence to the manager who simply stated photography in the shop was not permitted. Incredible.
Never shopped in Target since.

The rules on sale pricing are distressingly weak in Australia and refer to the goods being on sale at a higher price for a reasonable period beforehand. You can go to the ACCC, but I suspect the store can afford a better lawyer. Their CEO has dinner with members of the Cabinet, you probably don't. Best approach - yours, don't shop there again and tell them why.
