1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: New Jersey and Amanda jam Nation let's.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: Get on there to the Jonesy no matter of arms

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: for the first time in twenty twenty four and today

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: Wilworth stumping Australia Day merch and aldi from its stores

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: for Australia Day. Does it pass the pub test?

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 3: They have cited a gradual decline in demand for the

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 3: merchandise and they decided also that they felt that there

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,159
Speaker 3: was a lot of discussion around January twenty six that

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 3: people feel it's not a big day to celebrate, so

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 3: they've decided to pull the merch. Peter Dutton, for one,

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: has said it's an outrage and he suggested people boycott

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 3: Woollies and take their business elsewhere. Sure, I'd rather be

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 3: picked today that everyone could celebrate, but how do you

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 3: feel about a big company making this choice for you?

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: And that's the other thing. But when I started in

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: radio some thirty four years ago, the big topic of

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: discussion and people were blowing up de luxe because they

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: were going to move Australia Day. That wasn't going to

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: be a long weekend anymore. So the proposal back in

20
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety was are we going to have it on

21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: the actual day the twenty six so people were ringing up.

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: They were ringing up John Laws, the show which used

23
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: to take They can't do that. What happens?

24
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 4: It happens on a Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday. John,

25
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 4: It's outrageous. The Australia Day Long weekend is sacroceact. You know,

26
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 4: we're a funny bob. Really, it hasn't been in force

27
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 4: for a long long, like a long time. We're only

28
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 4: talking about thirty years, interesting, isn't it.

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: So as far as like not being able to buy merchandise,

30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: we should be able to buy it wherever we want.

31
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: So it's a it's a multi shaped.

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 3: Potato and a multi shaped potato shaped potato. How do

33
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: you feel well? Is pulling their Australia Day merch Does

34
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: this pass the pub test?

35
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: I think it's stinks. We're actually celebrating our fiftieth wedding

36
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: in a ministry on Australia Day. And I walked everywhere

37
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: yesterday trying to find a bucket hat for my husband

38
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: to wear, and I can't find one anywhere. It's very

39
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: on Australia. Well, they'm getting rid of it.

40
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 5: I think it's those parts of pub they're some Indigenous,

41
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 5: but I don't think it's got anything to do with that.

42
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 5: With wull Worth and Aldi, I think it's a business decision.

43
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 5: They've always got stuff left over at the end of

44
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 5: the Australia Day Long weekend selling it for a dollar,

45
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 5: so I don't think that's the decision. I think it's

46
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 5: all about business. But I don't think they care about

47
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 5: whatever else is going on.

48
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: You know, it gets somebody not pers some pubjects. The

49
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: next thing will be taking everything that we believe in

50
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: off the shelves for us, But they not touch the

51
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: right to make that decision. I don't know what the

52
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: fuss is about because all that crap's made over for

53
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: in China anyway, it's all the revenue just goes oversease.

54
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: I reckon they're a company that they should be able

55
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: to do whatever they want. And if that's their opinion

56
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: of Australia.

57
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 5: Taking the minutes off, I agree with them.

58
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean I agree with them, and I think why

59
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: not find a day that everyone's having to celebrate together.

60
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: He's a bit of a sidebar. Maybe you and I

61
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: could get into the Australian merchandise business. What do you

62
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: think for Australia Day.

63
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you just heard anything.

64
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 2: I'm just we just capitalize on it right now. It's

65
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: like where the rainstorm is on. There's raining right now.

66
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: We set up an umbrella stand. You're selling umbrellas.

67
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're feeling the pulse of the

68
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: nation right now.

69
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: I'm feeling something.

70
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: It's my foot on your neck.

71
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you know what, this could be a

72
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: little nice, little side, but we make them money. Love
