If there wasn’t a Palmerston in Australia, this would’ve been quite an expensive overseas trip. The hospital is lucky it isn’t being shut down or taken over by an entire new workforce & suspending/firing current staff. Laziness is still incompetency!

Is there not a travel company that would like to donate for transporting these people?!?!?!?!

'Something needs to change': Woolworths drops $1-a-litre milkWoolworths will stop selling $1-a-litre milk at its supermarkets, in a move it says will help restore Australian dairy farmers' commercial viability. Except farmers don't sell milk to Woolworths, they sell to the milk processor who processes and packages the milk. Will the middle-men milk processors pass on Woolies price increase to farmers?

'Something needs to change': Woolworths drops $1-a-litre milkWoolworths is raising the price of its home-brand milk by 10 per cent in an effort to restore the commercial viability of Australian dairy farmers. Ok we will go ALDI then coz our wages didn't rise at all !!! Does this mean that they are going to pay the processor more for the milk that they purchase?Will the processor pass it on to the farmers? We should happily pay $2 for 1 litre. Our farmers need the support. $2 is not much to pay. The same people complaining about the price rise probably pay $4+ for foreign bottled water!

Woolworths' milk: Coles, Aldi continue selling $1 milk, David Littleproud urges boycottColes has broken ranks with arch rival Woolworths and will continue to sell $1-a-litre-milk, prompting an extraordinary call from the federal agriculture minister for shoppers to boycott the supermarket and the discount chain Aldi Littleproud talking out of his arse agin. People know what the right thing to do is, without an idiot politician telling us what to do. How about telling farmers to stop voting for COALition, when they get screwed over the most by climate change? But I thought the Coalition supported free market competition as a mechanism to drive cheaper prices & greater efficiency. Now we're being told that we should boycott a major supermarket operator for doing just that. Bloody confusing. TI Ausbiz

Very simple, don't import any food source from other countries, & support our primary industry 100% Can we stop buying cheap generic milk and show the dairy cockies that we value their time in the dairy? And the paddock: feeding calves. pulling calves, joining, rounding up cows (at an ungodly hour), feeding out hay, sewing pasture... Seven days a week.
