C’mon Woolworths
Australia Day is a National Day, whether Australians and others who live in this country choose to celebrate it or not. 26th of January is the day we come together with neighbours, friends and family to acknowledge our great nation, show pride in our flag, welcome new immigrants to our community and share great Aussie traditions like barbecues, beach cricket, and toad races. It is a day of respect, reflection, resilience, and celebration of Aussie culture, history, diversity and spirit. ‘It’s the Vibe’, being grateful for what we all have.
We live in a country where our people can choose how they acknowledge this national day. We can choose to go to church or hunt for eggs at Easter. We can choose to dress up in costumes, carve pumpkins and go trick-or-treating at Halloween. We can choose to drink green beer and wear a funny hat in search of leprechauns on St Patricks’ Day. We can choose to put up a tree, cook a turkey, sing carols and give gifts at Christmas. We can choose to get up before dawn to stand side-by-side and give thanks on Anzac Day to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. We can choose whether or not to acknowledge a certain day, worship a religion, cheer on a sporting team, march for a cause, join together to help in times of disaster, or simply come together, smile, dance, cheer and enjoy the fireworks.
Woolworths has always supported national and international days or events, filling the stores with green and gold, Australian flags or the colours and logos of an event, shelf after shelf of lamingtons, meat pies, prawns for the barbie, lamb kebabs, Anzac biscuits, vegemite, and all those wonderfully delicious Aussie foods. I’ve seen Woolies staff wearing Santa hats and jingling bells, spiderwebs and ghostly figures draped over fruit and vegies, four leaf clover cupcakes in the bakery, Soccer balls for each country in the Fifa World Cup, Poppies at the checkout, Ooshies (whatever they were), Barbie, Barbie and more Barbies, Ramadan and Diwali essentials, and Hot Cross Buns on New Years Day. And when Frozen was blasting across the big screen, Woolworths didn’t ‘Let It Go’.
You can’t please all of the people all of the time, but this Woke B#S# is getting beyond a joke. Every person in this country can choose how they wish to acknowledge Australia Day but don’t spoil it for the millions of customers who do want to celebrate our National Day. Bring back the merchandise and do it now.
Woolworths is an Australian owned national retail company, selling Australian produce, owned by Australian shareholders, and profiting from Australian customers. Woolworths should not dictate their woke ideology to customers on how we should or shouldn’t recognise Australia Day.
I AM, YOU ARE, WE ARE AUSTRALIAN.
