    This is exactly how Trumpism gets seeded into mainstream Australia. Dutton can fuck right off with his racist dogwhistling, and find something better to complain about.

    Woolies would keep the crap if people bought it. I’m unconvinced they would drop the range if it were making them buckets of money.

    I’ll bet it’s loads more profit per shelf to fill that space with back-to-school stuff.

    It’s us who don’t want Australia Day stuff. Possibly because we don’t exactly have wads of spare disposable income to spend on luxuries? Maybe because we have a personal stance on Australia Day? Maybe we just don’t care?

      I expect to see him decked out on Jan 26 in an Australian flag singlet with Australian flag boardies and thongs. Waving little Australian flags and giving out cute stuffed kangaroos and koalas to kids.

      Or, I dunno, maybe he could just be a hypocrite?

    The less cheap plastic crap that will end up in landfill and waterways on the 27th the better. What a stupid thing to kick up a stink about. I know why he’s doing it but I’m sick of conservatives turning every little fucking thing into more culture war bullshit. Just fuck off already.

    I had to check whether this is was from The Shovel or not. Honestly, it’s baffling that a federal politician (and head of the opposition) is focusing on something so trivial.

    I’m all for boycotting Woolies for their business practices, but not as much as I am for boycotting that semi sentient potato.
