Has it happened so slowly and precision planning that we did not see it coming? How is it that Australia is the ONLY, not one of , but the ONLY country where two supermarket chains own over 50% of the market share(70%) to be exact. They also have their shares in over 270 pubs and clubs Australia wide, and own many of the other shop names we have come to know as Aussie, such as DIck Smith Electronics, Big W, BWS, Dan Murphy's, petrol stations....ANd the list goes on... Has anyone stopped to check this out? What is our government doing about their unfair trade practices, not allowing competitors to be in shopping complexes, buying empty blocks perfect for sites to be built but leaving them empty for years, just so no one else can setup in the area, squeezing farmers so much that generations are barely making it through the year with profits, and they only get 5% of the price we pay on the shelf?? I'm sorry but I'm confused now. THis is a democratic, free, liberal, multicultural nation ?? To break the very people we have built this nation on driving their prices down, increase production to quantities that can not be sustainable and not as much as flinching when they force many of these generations of farmers to have no choice but to shut shop. This is history breaking news. The Australian way is nearing extinction, but it is ok because they give $1 back to support the farmers they do such a great job in destroying...... check out youtube Really Long Link for more info on these two deadly giants....they like to claim helping Australians; see what you THINK??

YES, I said ManBed. A new phraze I have adhered for this ad hoc campaign. These methodological, manipulating, and mind altering continuum of lights, variety and barcodes, are simply a major tool used for implementing a new world order from within our very own ranks. How you ask?
Just like everybody's once, favourite family board game of Monopoly. As the title describes, buying power and control equals Park Terrace, Trafalgar Square and a Get out of Jail free card. We talk about supporting our local, buying Australian made, but these very institutes we subconsciously wander through, lost in a daze of colours, carbs and confectionary. Then its too late, our trolleys are full of rubbish and we are slowly killing those same, very locals.
We hear of the Farmers who have lost their land through a number of contributing factors, yet the major factor is the immoral, heartless acts of unreasoning entities. To make things worse, this isn't a business struggling and finally succumbing to defeat after a couple of YEARS, that you're sad to see go. Often 5 generations and above of hard work, history, culture and traditional values are swept away like the crop in the droughts. These brothers in arms, seloc and shtrowloow; not only do they unethically, and unfathomably, leverage farmer against farmer, then squeeze every drop out of them, to the point where their livelihood is worth a drop of salty water, to a crop in an Aussie Summer’s Drought. Not only do they then have the nerve to purchase the land off these farmers who now in their painful downturn, but also keep them and work them twice as hard for half the price, on a land that now NO longer belongs to them. They exploit our locals and then have the audacity to market campaigns titled - "SUPPORT OUR FARMERS' where 10c from items purchased are donated to “help farmers struggling”. And of all the Farmers I have had a chat to, none are yet to say that either of these two show any support. These two soulless entities don’t even sign paperwork to guarantee your supply. This is done the old fashioned way; a Hand Shake. Ironic huh??
Thee who puteth out thee fire, lighteth it thyselves – what a great way to create a false sense of security and the role of saviour.
So what can WE do? Slow down! Be thrilled to give your dollars to Frank for his steaks, Nick for his squid, Tony for his apples and Mahmoud for his Chicken. And when you need your other household items, yeah it may not be as close but drive that extra 10 minutes and spend your dollars at your Independents. Your IGA's and your Foodland's, heck even your corner deli (if you still have one??). Don’t let all these guys disappear too. Australia has the largest number of extinct species of flora and fauna in the world per capita, don’t let these guys be added to the list.
And YOU farmers. Band together! It won't take you or them long before you work out that it is YOU guys who have the Power; of supply. Don’t let them snakes slide in between your grass and separate the herd. Congregate, Consolidate, Create and Celebrate an enriched community for our children's future and MANBED these entities.
I want to organize a week of “NO_BUYING_FROM_THESE” – to see the numbers we can get and the effect of redirecting ourpoint of purchase for just one week can do for our LOcALS.
