That is what I mentioned waaay back about 4 or 5 pages ago in this thread - that we do not want to increase the duopoly held by Coles and Woolies due to them ****** the farmers over.

and was told I was wrong (by the pro extended trading hrs people)

well, well.

Hey Mark_australia, I didn't update this thread to flame the fire of who's right or wrong. I doubt the people who were very strongly pro extended trading hours would ever venture back into this thread. They got what they wanted, so they have moved on
.
I added the link to show how the Duopoly is insideously taking freedom of choice away from consumers and tightening the screws on primary producers, the latter is what I find as disturbing as the potential social impact of extended trading hours.

As I stated before, I will be a happy chappy if I am proven wrong in the medium term.

Kind of like the strong AUD$, good for some in the short term but no so good for many in the medium to long term.

What stood out for me was the shift in the % of full time employment to part time employment.
