    Time for Cooladdi to have a massive upgrade. Even Google Maps is 15 years out of date.
    Still, looks like another addition to my bucket list …

    Well the companies they supplied, Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, IGA, should pitch in and buy it. They’re all good at buying out businesses and/or making profits. Foodbank Australia although a not-for-profit have a very sizeable bank balance with government handouts and donations, and other income streams I’m sure. Time the government bought back price control, then listen to the big 4 piggys scream.

    So this is the new reality, 50 years in the making. How many more ‘super-stores’ can proliferate the market? Woolworths and Coles put short shift to the corner store, wiped them off the map. Now if you just want milk you have to get in the car or bus and go to the supermarket instead of a nice stroll to the store. Bunnings putting the knife into the small family hardware stores, garden suppliers and now pet shops.

    This problem has been around for years and nothing ever improves. Not just Centrelink, also utility companies, other government agencies.
