Broadway shopping centre in Sydney has gone all out with decorations for NAIDOC Week this year. I don’t know if any other big shopping centre is doing it.

Also good to hear Woolworths radio today was playing an indigenous track while I was in the supermarket. It was a cover of the Cold Chisel track When The War Is Over by Gawurra in both English and in an indigenous language.

Don’t tell people what to do .

Seems Coles has already replaced the confectionery at checkouts with Frangers and Lube. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Someone is always outraged about something yet they think they speak for everyone. World has gone mad.

Reminds me of that Simpson episode where Marge shuts down the burlesque house.

They already sell those items in the Health and Beauty section, so I think that the placement of those things at the checkouts are very useful and are more purposeful than a Mars bar. If the lady is so triggered at the sight of condoms and lube at checkouts. She can just go online and do her groceries and have them delivered. Besides, you will never know when you would need a pack of those.

How can oil companies justify the fluctuations in petrol prices? Yesterday petrol was 160.9/litre but today it jumped to 207.9/litre. We were used to the games petrol stations played where they would cycle up and down every couple of weeks but the variation was never more than about 20 cents. Is the cycle now going to be 50 cents? Having a 25% price fluctuation is ridiculous.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Western Australia lost a store or two as well although 95% Per Cent of all WA Stores have the Mid-to late-2010s Layout.

Here in regional Qld it has been stuck at $1.75 for ages .

There’s definitely collusion going on when you see every petrol station in this area raised it to 207.9 on the same morning.

Woolworths has Deleted Schweppes Lime Flavour Soft Drink without my Consent, I liked that Brand.

All I gotta say is hands off my Brown Cream Soda.

I waited 7 years for them to introduce it over to WA.

What do you mean?

Have they completely deleted it? Or is it just longer being sold in a particular store? The Woolies stores can have different products depending on where they are.

It’s not listed on their website at all. Doesn’t appear to be available at Coles either. I usually pick one up at an IGA.

Does anyone know this brand of tissues disappeared from Coles a couple of weeks ago?

Having Shea Butter was a great alternative to aloe vera or the normal tissues.

Weird in Brisbane the average is 164.9 and the highest is 1.80.

this one? Schweppes Traditional Lime Soft Drink Bottle 1.1l | Woolworths Just says it is out of stock. If it is a nationwide out of stock it is hidden on the website
