fuck him, but also this is blatant PR strategy.
"Oh we've gotten rid of the man at the top, see we're better now! No no, nothing institutional has or will change"
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.
Fuck Colesworth.
A retired old man, just like Rod Sims.
how funny is it that his entire careers legacy was defined in the 2 days before retirement haha.
suck shit to the arrogant peice of shit
retire my arse. he was obliterated by the board over his shit interview. and the loss I guess
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.
TIL Australia’s had a similar issue as the US did with Columbus Day, now often renamed Indigenous Peoples’ Day here.
