Littleproud gives Woolworths a serve for its decision that thereās no profit from retailing Made in China crap for a single dayās use.
IIRC, Morrisonās MPs didnāt take to wearing the Australian flag pins which he purchased on the public account.
Just feeling swollen with pride that thereās a bit of green and gold microplastic soon to enter my balls, lungs and bloodstream because some idiots need a commercial reminder that they live in a country and a monopoly multinat are too pissweak to stick to a savings contingency. Which of course will be simply passed up to other products. Hope you have a nice Aus Day Parade Lawry. Wherever the hell that happens
Iāve never been to an Australia Day parade and I never buy the merch

They paid a hefty price. I know that to be the case. Sales lost and lost retailer shareā¦ ALDI largely the beneficiary. Their sales tanked on the back of that fiasco and are yet to recover. It was a costly error of judgement for sure.

ā¦ To ensure they donāt keep leaking more sales is why.
Iām in the industry BigA.
Large volume of complaints by staff and customers last year when they decided not to sell the AD merchandise. Woolworths have conceded last yearās decision was a mistake

Are you ill-informed or intentionally trying to troll? Serious question.

Nothing to do with price gouging or that interview, unconnected to Australia Day. Meanwhile, Woolworths profits took a huge hit during the staff strike.
Last year, Aldi announced that it would cease to stock Australia Day merch.

The ABC (and Murdoch) still engage in some political discourse in their current affairs and this is the politics thread?
I mean yeah you could take notice of ACA doing another beatup on housos or scammers I suppose?
Iād have a bit of a laugh if they faced a boycott the other way now.
In a general sense, a corporate supermarket (WW / Coles) shopper would prefer to shop at ALDI or an IGA rather than swap to the other corporate supermarket. Thatās a broad shopper behaviour, not specific to this Aust Day issue. Outcome was WW shoppers leaked to ALD and independents mostly.

āKmart has not stocked Australia Day merchandise for the past two years and Aldi chose not to do any special promotions last year.ā
Funny, I didnāt hear of anyone boycotting these stores last year.

Hey Dmapes, how is your pub/club/cafe been faring since their announcement that they arenāt celebrating Aussie Day? Did the punters abandon them over the Xmas/New Years eve period and are they still ignoring the rage that decision generated?
Great idea!
They shouldnāt be able to call it āNewsā, and/or should have to have giant āOpinionā labels flashing on the top and bottom of the screen.
