Fair go for Aussie companies.

Target:
Coles and Woolworths management and shareholders.
Sponsored by: 
 Coles and Woolworths are a national disgrace when it comes to supporting 100% Australian owned companies.

The supermarket shelves are overwhelmingly stocked with foreign owned and made rubbish which is destroying Australian farmers and industry.

These two conglomerates are ripping off consumers by destroying 100% Australian owned companies so they can make more money selling the customer cheap inferior rubbish.Broccoli can be from China, tomatoes from Italy,rice from Thailand,fish from Vietnam.

Do these companies think it is right for Australians to be eating toxic imports from overseas containing dangerous levels of e coli and other bacteria as a result from raw human sewerage used in the growing process while at the same time our vegetables are cultivated back into the soil all because the supermarkets want to make the most money for their shareholders at any cost.
Australia grows some of the best fruit and vegetables in the world as we do not have a low standard of agriculture like some third world countries.

Coles and woolworths are responsible for foreign buyouts of Australian icons because foreign companies get the prime shelf space and Australian companies are stocked on the floor or are up high on the shelves or sometimes not stocked at all. 

We as Australians have the right to buy Australian in our own country and not  be forced to buy foreign owned garbage which sends profits and jobs overseas to foreign corporations.

When buying a foreign owned product you are being ripped off as Australian products are cheaper.This is what the supermarkets do not want the customer to know.Do you Notice the high cost of groceries and the lack of 100% Australian owned companies currently operating on the shelves.

We the undersigned demand Coles and Woolworths stop their destructive foreign owned and made purchasing practices.We want to see Coles and Woolworths support Australian industries by stocking a full  range of 100%Australian owned/grown and made.Coles and Woolworths must act to resolve this problem once and for all or the undersigned will make a commitment to shop with other Australian owned retailers who will support 100% Australian owned companies.

I feel it is unfair to take jobs away from Australian farmers and industry to allow foreign products to be sold in that country. Here in America there is almost nothing made in this country and everything from foreign import.
