    It’ll be back next year when they fuck around and find out this year.

    Ultimately, Coles and Woolies are untouchable. It’s almost impossible to boycott them. That’s the whole problem with the grocery duopoly in Australia. I don’t foresee this move having any impact on them either way. They know it, too. You may be right and they’re pandering somewhat, but I am a cynic and I believe they’re doing it because the range isn’t making enough money to justify its shelf space.

      In a large city they can be practically boycotted. Most people just can’t be bothered.

      If you utilise Aldi, IGA and/or Foodworks, you can get most of what you can get from Coles/Woolworths, and you will probably save money.

      Although making trips to multiple different supermarkets is an inconvenience.

      They’re absolutely pandering, which is why they put this in their statement:

      At the same time there’s been broader discussion about 26 January and what it means to different parts of the community
