Oh fuck, this is too funny. My wife and I watched the 4 Corners piece last night, and I said that the dumb cunt will probably be made to fall on his sword for being such an inept tool in the interview.
For context, the journo was presenting some observations from Rod Sims, the former head of the ACCC. This dickhead's response was to state that Sims was retired. Which he did... in 2022. Journo's response was on point, about how that didn't invalidate Sims' understanding of consumer law and rights. At which point, Mr Dumbfuck Fuckface got up and walked away.
Funniest shit I've seen in a while!
The sad thing? Because he "voluntarily" retired, I'm fairly certain this incapable moron will still get all his fucking shares and other benefits, as part of his contract.

He got paid $7mil last year, his shares etc are irrelevant unfortunately.
Whoever came up with the idea of putting him In a team member uniform and filming the interview in a supermarket should also "retire". Australians absolutely hate inauthentic behaviour, especially from the wealthy and powerful. Woolworths was never going to soften public opinion with that strategy and should have just gone full corporate damage limitation mode like Coles.
are you kidding? we are pathetically prostrate. Our culture is passive and obedient to a fault, and I mean that last part.
Remember the mining tax? we fucking love deep throating billionaires. Remember the outcry when extinction rebellion did literally anything? we hate authentic behaviour.
Is that the mining tax which the Gillard government introduced after publicly declaring there would be no carbon tax? That whole saga was perceived as inauthentic behaviour by the electorate and they were punished for it.
Public listing of grocery retail is a key cause of these problems. Listed food has the wrong owners, by virtue of being listed in the first place, and they're pursuing their priorities at the direct expense of shoppers and suppliers.
If you suspect you're being fucked on a favourite purchase category, direct your custom elsewhere (Aldi, Costco, family run) and review your consumption rate. If I see unreasonable price rises, I know I'm buying less as a rule.
