Surprised nobody has posted about this.
Woolworths has announced it won't stock Australia Day themed items this year, and conservatives are chucking an epic wobbly. The anti cancel culture crew trying to cancel shit again. Bless those brave patriots *wipes tear from eye. Coles have now issued a statement saying it will stock heaps of Australia Day gear. Two contrasting marketing strategies - the woke market vs the love it or leave market. Who will prevail in the battle for national supermarket supremacy?
Even Peter Dutton has weighed in now, calling for Aussies to boycott Woolies. Good to see him trying to cancel one of the nation's biggest employers. You have to wonder how he finds the time between the troublesome chore of trimming his nose hairs without benefit of being able to see his reflection in the mirror, and focusing on actual problems affecting our country. Is lack of virtue signalling a thing? Someone on Dutton's PR team should trademark that.
Anyway, which side of the fence do you sit on? Team Woolies, or team Coles? Have at it.
Haha, I did not know about any of that.
Interesting to see how it all pans out.
I usually shop at wollies and won't be changing my habits, and I don't usually buy Australia day crap anyway.
But, if this is true, I'm disappointed in wollies.
Australia day should still be celebrated.
I know the date itself has its discussion points, but the celebration of this great nation should be had, and wollies shouldn't get involved in that political stuff in my opinion.
I can see why those with strong beliefs will be pissed at wollies.
The old go woke, go broke
I can't see that happening here to a monster like wollies, but they will need to be a little bit careful.
I am sure they have crunched the numbers haha.
Good topic of discussion though.
I look forward to the fights over this haha.
