I only shop at Woolworths if I don't have a choice.

They will, however, stock all bits and pieces for Chinese New Year, Halloween and stock Hot Cross Buns all year from Boxing Day onwards. Grocery stores should simply sell groceries, including the bits and pieces for Australia Day. 26 January is Australia Day. We celebrate our progress and achievements.

Love your articles, Mr Insight, You're funny AF. Woolies makes a fortune selling alcohol. 7 out of 10 paramedic callouts, police callouts and accident and emergency admissions are directly related to alcohol consumption. Woolies runs many thousands of pokies. Gambling addiction is another socially devastating phenomenon. There were once family run corner stores and small shops in every suburb and town in Australia. When Woolies moves in, small businesses can't compete, and they have almost all had to close. Australian farmers may see as little as 5% of the shelf price of produce at Woolies. And there's more. So much more... The scale of social destruction wreaked by Woolies in Australia is hard to imagine. Their hypocrisy off the charts. Wake up, fellow Australians. Boycott Woolworths.

Its purpose was to find a convict settlement on the east coast of Australia, at Botany Bay. The First Fleet sailed from England on 13 May 1787 and arrived at Botany Bay eight months later, on 18 January 1788. Governor Arthur Phillip rejected Botany Bay choosing instead Port Jackson, to the north, as the site for the new colony; they arrived there on 26 January 1788. The number of convicts transported in the First Fleet is unclear; there were between 750-780 convicts and around 550 crew, soldiers and family members. moe the happy to move it to jan 18
