Totallly Un-Australian.
If I were a short seller this would be a good time to hit Woolies.Totallly Un-Australian.
We're the same, only shop there if there isn't an alternative.I don't shop there anyway so I'm boycotting by default.

I used to have quite a holding in WOW bought when they floated at $2.40, sold out a few years ago and bought AFI, when the wife said their prices are getting stupid.
But on a serious note, how stupid of WOW management to wade into the political side of things, what's the old saying don't discuss politics or religion and off they go and jump right into the thick of things.
Thick is probably an apt description IMO, WOW management is there to run the business for the shareholders, how do they think in their wildest dreams that refusing to supply merchandise to customers is in the shareholders interest?
Their is weird $hit going on in Australia ATM, where politicians and business management, feel they are there to dictate how the populous should think.
Rather than just doing their job and representing those who put them there, Alan Joyce started it, I think the voters and shareholders are getting fed up.
The age of divisiveness, driven by inclusiveness, isn't working as well as intended, just another brain fart gone wrong big time IMO.
Yes, you don't bring about change by ramming it down people's necks, those days are well gone, people have to be encouraged to adopt change of their own violition not because they are told to do it.Absolutely, you would think that the fingers up the public gave to companies such as this over the Voice would be a signal that we don't appreciate."wokefullness" or political correctness and interference in our decision making.
Some companies that call themselves "Proudly Australian" had better make more of an effort to demonstrate that.
Which incidentally is exactly what progressives used to encourage as the first line of action against any product or business someone disagrees with.This is how we plebeians can have a vote about corporate ideologies, with our wallets.
It's the height of arrogance to preach about an individual's right to choose, being opposed to coercive control, that everyone ought be respected, anti-bullying and so on whilst demanding others do as you say.Yes, you don't bring about change by ramming it down people's necks
My take on it is this is what happens when the previous paradigm has run out of anywhere to go and there's not yet a broad business and community acceptance of what the new direction needs to be.Their is weird $hit going on in Australia ATM
Well what makes it even more stupid from Woolworths perspective, is how soon after Alan Joyce's unceremonious exit from Qantas this has happened, Woolworths management obviously have no ability to read the crowd IMO.It's the height of arrogance to preach about an individual's right to choose, being opposed to coercive control, that everyone ought be respected, anti-bullying and so on whilst demanding others do as you say.
As for Woolworths, I'm not actively boycotting them but I rarely shop there simply because the closest supermarket is Foodland, the next closest is Aldi, next is Coles. So Woolworths is physically the furthest away, to the point shopping there would be somewhat a novelty, a conscious decision, that in practice makes little sense.
Everyones views are always different to ours, easier to go along with the confersation because that fool is paying the billThe lesson for businesses is to have a product(s) sell it for as much as you can get for it, and STFU about political and social issues.
As soon as you bring anything up along these lines you are going to alienate a portion of your clientele.
It's dumb business.
I know in my business if I started off about my opinions on these topics I would be absolutely lionized by half of them, but the other half would probably give me the sack.
That wouldn't be very smart, so if they bring anything up I will quickly change the subject.
