Woolies , ouch

Balls then , yes .
So surprise surprise the supermarket giant have got their way thus far. The application to build a big box supermarket on the edge of Mullumbimby has been accepted by the Land and Environment court in Sydney . Well we always knew that they had friends in high places . but do we roll over and take it now .
No Way . they still have to build it ,staff it , open it and make it work . Anyway i dont care too much by now . "How come ?" You might ask . Well , it would seem that a lot of people wouldn't actually mind it if woolies come to town , these opinions are valid too . Then of course I don't live in town if residents in Mullum don't mind the extra traffic etc then why should I . So all in all what happens will be for the best and it affects me only a little . The other store owners in Mullum might do a bit worse but if they can't be bothered to get up and fight I certainly can't .
Interesting times all in all , lets see what happens next . A boycott? My family will if some others do . lets see how the community comes out of this one .
I don't care too much anymore .If it gets so bad round here I will just move to another place . When it becomes too main stream just move closer to the edge.
Peace , Uge .

  1. Good onya Uge! You say you don't care too much any more but I think you do. Join the boycott. Teach the Woolly bullies they can't just trample a community's wishes and stick their big boxes wherever they please. Mullum is worth saving. Do your bit!

  2. Thanks for the comment
    I am not beaten quite yet . I have signed the petitions , joined the demonstrations and will continue to whilst there is still any opposition. I will be around Mullum and ready to join any community ideas that oppose Wollies.
    Maybe we can still stop them .
