Dear John,
When Pauline Hanson raises the disdain for Australia Day shown
by ‘Wokeworths’ (Woolworths), the real story is Australians’ distrust
for everything Woolworths stands for.
As reported in the media this week, dirty tactics used by
Australia’s supermarket giants – including threats and unreasonable
rule changes – to punish desperate farmers have been exposed, leaving
cash-strapped growers “too afraid to speak up” and “in fear for their
futures”.
Sticking their nose into woke politics is how these corporations
distract from the way they are gouging consumers and destroying our
farmers.
Screwing farmers over has a direct consequence. The
supermarket chains then use that profit and buying power to jack
prices up and bleed more from consumers. Predatory practises are
directly affecting the price of produce at the
checkout.
Vicious woke warriors will say Woolworth’s ‘200,000’
workers deserve protection from boycott calls. Certainly, the
day-to-day shop floor workers don’t deserve abuse, however One Nation
has long maintained that the major supermarkets, including Aldi and
Wokeworths, have unfairly taken advantage of Australia’s primary
producers in an un-Australian manner for far too long.
One Nation has consistently and successfully argued for a code of
conduct framework for the dairy and sugar industries, and has always
worked for a fair go for our world-class farming sector.
It’s
time to revise our supermarket code of conduct, as it is obviously not
fit for purpose. The first sentence of such a code of conduct should
be a reminder to these businesses they operate in Australia, a country
where people are full of pride in our culture, our flag and national
holiday.

This is the year when Australians fight
back. We will reclaim our country and bring common sense to
government.

MAJOR UPDATE: Our Australia Day
merchandise sales have just gone through the roof. This week we put
the call out for locals to our Brisbane HQ to help with our huge
increase in orders for January 26th. Dozens of people
answered the call and filled our warehouse, busily packing those
orders.
Senator Hanson, her MPs, and all of the
team at One Nation HQ are so grateful for the
volunteers that answered this call. It was really heartwarming, and we
have enjoyed the banter and friendships that we've enjoyed this
week.
We are still getting through our
Australia Day orders, and will be doing more over the
weekend. Our hope is that every Australian can enjoy
Australian merchandise and the joy that this significant national
holiday brings us all.

We have some new shirts in our store.
It's great fun presenting these new designs and seeing how excited
everyone is. A massive thank you to Maurice, one of our supporters,
who came up with the idea behind these new designs.
