Labor are left wing.

Cause left wing has been working so well…….
So many reasons. Not everyone lives close enough to the city. Not everyone wants to ride a bike. Not everyone has showers available at their work. Not everyone would feel safe riding a bike, especially women. Then there's the big one - the weather.
Did you see their now ex ceo in there?
at no extra wholesale cost to retailers.
And at no extra cost to customers, right? Right?
CEO doesn’t make decisions about what product lines to discontinue. He didn’t create the Australia day thing.
The CEO is ultimately responsible for every decision they make. He absolutely had a say in it and he clearly thought it was a good idea, and he thought his messaging was good.
Of course you fire the CEO before the enquiry, so you can divert blame during the enquiry. “Oh yeah maybe we did some bad stuff but it’s all fixed now”.
Nope, you wait until after the enquiry so you can blame them at the end and say "we'll take action by firing the ceo". What if the enquiry comes up with nothing bad and you've already fired your CEO? lol
Woolworths is not “finding out”.
Again - CEO gone. Enormous public backlash. This whole thing has even further pushed for calls for inquiries and change.
Just as it was a month ago, any assertion that Woolworth has made a mistake in discontinuing Australia day merch is just absurd.
Bet the CEO doesn't think that. Bet the people that pushed him to retirement don't think that. They are a supermarket, not a politician. Keep your shitty politics out of it and sell stuff that people want to buy. Note they never said it didn't sell, they just said there had been a "gradual decline in sales". The best selling product on earth can have a gradual decline in sales but still sell well.
Frankly, I’m genuinely surprised you’re still fretting about it.
Same with you.
You really think he’s quit over cancelling product lines? Weren’t you predicting Woolworths would collapse over that or something?
No, I think - as does almost every media outlet - that he has "stepped down" (though we all know he was asked to jump before he is pushed) over the back to back controversies he oversaw and that he handled in the worst possible ways. I didn't predict that they would collapse, I predicted that they were going to "find out" after fucking around - and here we are, the CEO pushed off the ledge.
It’s a pretty predictable response to the competition enquiry about to ramp up over the next few months.
To fire the CEO before the competition enquiry has happened? That's predictable? lol. No, what would be more predictable is them firing him after the enquiry is finished and has laid out all the anti-competitive stuff they've done - not before.
Woolworths CEO stepping down after yet another train wreck interview. Seems all that virtue signalling came back to get him.
You’re mistaking the real reason for the made up reason. They are stopping it for the virtue signalling, they’re using “declining sales” (with no more detail) to try and cover themselves.
Bud light is doing terribly. Just because the parent company is going well it doesn’t mean every product of theirs is 😂. Again - 20 years as americas number 1 beer……..Dylan mulvaney partnership…….loses number 1 spot immediately, hasn’t regained it. Market share dropped. Competitors market shares increased. Bud light was irrevocably damaged from that stunt.
The overwhelming outrage at Woolies at the moment shows that it was a stupid decision. They did it for the wrong reasons and they will feel the pushback in one way or another. Will it be as big as bud lights? Not a chance with our supermarket duopoly, but they will lose customers and the stunt won’t gain them any new ones.
They’re centre-left at best, and are shifting more left wing as we go with their stance on immigration and social activism.
