I'm no longer shopping in a supermarket which does not support ALL Australians...
So you would rather they fill their shelves with plastic merchandise from China that adds to our trade deficit and end up in land fill?
Sky News does not represent " all Australians"!!! Get a reality check!!!!
@@leonharrison800just the real ones who ain't sheep
@@chriscasey5772
The sheep are the Sky News and LNP followers. Stop the ignorance.
@abarthspider3479 Fxxx Australia and Australia Day!!! Both of no consequence! Cancel the citizenship ceremonies. They mean nothing.
I have woolworths car insurance at present. It won't be renewed this year. They are not satisfied with ripping off the majority of Australians but now they're locking them out for the sake of their own woke egos. Up yours Woolies. ( Remember it's not the frontline staff that are resposible but the ones with their heads in the trough, so please leave the staff alone.)
well said
100%! Leave the poor front-end workers alone, they’re just there working to make a living, they didn’t make these ridiculous decisions!
Good on you, and I look forward to you buying lots of Chinese made junk to assist the Australian balance of payments in future!
@@Skeptic236 local manufacturing and industries decimated in the 70's and 80's by commies in the labor party, paul keating for one. they reduced tariffs on imports thereby making the products much cheaper than local made produts, putting Au industries out of business. We could not compete with slave like conditons and pays from overseas. Now we rely heavily on imports, thats why we get our products made in china. I would much rather pay a bit more if it keeps an aussie in a job.
@@Skeptic236 …and you’re just perfect and NEVER buy anything made in China? 🙄😒
We stopped shopping at that place when they gave millions to support the voice. Seems they have not learnt anything about attacking Australia as a country.
Interesting when Woolworths is making sure that millions of dollars does not go to China and stays in Australia we have a go at them . If only we can celebrate Australia Day the way we used too without all the Chinese crap it would be so better
Vote with your wallet. And boycott woke Woolworths.
Go woke, go broke... something to really think about... shame on Woolworths !!!
Wow I'm actually surprised this news broadcast reflects the honest truths of the majority. Woolworths you suck!
They see the worm turning and are just covering their arse.
Change the date of Australia Day, celebrate on a different more respectful date, or there isn’t anything to celebrate if not all Australians can celebrate on the national day. January 26th clearly isn’t the right date for Australia Day.

Changing the date would not make a lick of difference youd still be whining about it . HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY ON THE 26 OF JANUARY is just it .Dam goverment trying to divide us and woolworths im done with you .@@DJDJDJ22
Boycott Woolworths...
Boycott Woolworths.
How dare they prevent billions of dollars leaving Australia going to China ? it's about the most Australian thing I've seen lately
Cancelled my Woolworths online delivery today. I raise my middle finger to them
How if the delivery man does not come?
Thankfully Australia day is well celebrated on the Gold coast , with plenty of Aussie flags flying
Change the date! The Australian people will no longer celebrate invasion day.
Flag companies all over the world celebrating!
Sorry Australian flag companies are where?
Who cares !! celebrate australia day mate@@petermoller8337
@@ZaoMedong-wasn’t invasion day mate
Good on you Gold Coast!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Changing the date isn't going to change the argument. Lets keep it as the 26th and be proud of our country and lets all fly a flag or wear some merch to show how much we love our country.
YES THE PEOPLE WANT
THE 26TH AS THEIR DAY..
Exactly. Pick any day of the year and they'll try and get rid of it. The date has nothing to do with it. I know plenty of migrants that love this country and celebrate Australia day.
@@CRFLAus U HAVE A GOOD
POINT THERE..
Change the date! The Australian people will no longer celebrate invasion day.
@@ZaoMedong- what day would you change it to? Does it matter? Whatever date it is will still be called invasion day.
I used to just go to whichever was more convenient, now that decision is clear.
Remember, BWS, Big W and Dan Murphys are all under the Woolies brand, boycott the lot.
I think the fact that millions of dollars are not going to China this year is a wonderful thing
@@James-kv6kb Yes, 100's of billions are going to China this year, millions lmao. Where was the device you are using right now made?
@@rmac3217 if I could buy a phone made in Australia which I had many of I would buy it. However unfortunately this now an essential item and it won't be thrown in the bin the day after Australia Day like all the unnecessary crap you people think you need to purchase to show how Australia you are ,we never did this when I was growing up. Maybe we had flags but it was about being with other Australians and partying as opposed to saying look at me look how much money I've spent on Chinese crap .
@@rmac3217 not sure if I made a mistake there but I can tell you the Americans spend 10 billion with a b 10 billion on Halloween plastic every year all coming from our favourite polluting country .
@@James-kv6kb You can also wear a potato sack and save the planet. Whether your consumption is based on social gatherings or travelling alone, it's still consumption.
Many ppl want China to keep winning though, they may have a surveillance state but they also mind their own business. Corruption is not even a thing anymore, because America and the colonies are far more corrupt now, most inside China's pocket ironically.
I like shopping at woolies, but I swore allegiance to Australia in 2007. If woolies hates australia so much, I can shop elsewhere. Aldi, Coles and even IGA...
Yep... same here 👍
Aldi has jumped on board with Woolies. Kicke em to the kerb.
I know some conservatives will only now shop at IGA
The two biggest shareholders of Woolworths are Black Rock and Vanguard. These two are the biggest corporations in the US who are also the biggest shareholders in Pfiser and Moderna. Woolworths celebrate American national days but have no respect for ours, nor our health it would appear.
These super woke companies are working hard at cancelling American holidays and international holidays. They aren't just the enemy of Australia, but of the entire non-woke world and they need to be starved of funds and replaced by old fashioned stores that operate off the the rule of supply and demand.
Check out the board of trustees of WEF
Also, Blackrock and Vanguard with us$18 trillion of funds under management are shareholders in Woolworths. Also they are major shareholders in all 4 Australian banks.
Woolworths & co. Are now off my shopping list. There are lots of competition who we can support as in, Coles, IGA, Aldis.
Coles is part of the duopoly ripping you off and you want to give them more control over the market? 🤦🏻♀️
Coles are worse if you haven't noticed. With their rainbow delivery trucks, pronoun name badges and voice propaganda playing in store.
YES 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@Sapphiregirl3 thank you. That I did not know. I have learnt something again today.
@@notsofatmike1Please tell me you are making that up! 🙏
As we learned here in America, Boycotting woke businesses works very well at making woke businesses rethink their ill planned schemes.
The MAGA obsession with WOKE is laughable. Woke was originally a term used back in the 1930's by African Americans who' had woken up' to the racism and discrimination they faced every day.
Woke is a mad up word that republicans highjacked from African 3:18 American slang. Now you have old people screaming it at everything.
@@aaronlewis2501 A 'mad up word', eh? You sure seem 'mad up'. I suspect because you're one of the types of people being called out.
Australians don’t really act collectively the way Americans do. Plus, if it reached the heights it did with bud, they’d just pass a law restricting people from boycotting 😂
@@aaronlewis2501 All words are made up, including the 22 that you used in your above reply. Words are spread and used by widening circles of people; that's how language works. Do you think every word in the dictionary was "highjacked?" Do you think that words only belong to certain people and no one else can say them?
Well done Sunrise.
Saying what the majority think.
And leaving comments turned on.
Come on Aussie come on
Australian flag flying high and proud
YES 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Wokeworths Group is un-Australian! Australians can cancel Wokeworths... it is the right thing to do!
Just like Woolies does the welcome to country over their pa system which wholeheartedly disapprove of.
i WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT wOOLWORYS THAT MEANS I WILL NOT BE SPENDING MY USUAL WEEKLY $150.00 I WILL SUPPORT aLDI INSTEAD
OK!
Um Aldi have also refused to sell Australia day merchandise
Don't get much for $150 these days.
Aldi is doing the same...
Well done Sunrise with getting Warren Mundine on to call out this woke madness. Would've been good if he and JNP could of gotten onto your show during Albo's referendum but better late than never. The sad truth is nothing will change if the date of Australia Day is moved. agitators will still agitate.
Explain woke?
Well said Amen 🙏
But it could shut down the excuse of 'invasion day'?
A neutral date would focus on basically celebrating multicultural Australia .
@abarthspider3479 Also people like @hokimoki3677 who know perfectly well what type of person woke is referring to, but try to deflect from the criticism because it's referring to them.
👍👍
Well I will not be buying the meat and salads for my Australia BBQ from Wokeworths! Nor will be doing my weekly shop....
This makes me want to celebrate even more! They have no right to dictate who can and can’t celebrate our country! They’ll be removing Christmas decorations next…
I have never brought hat , clothes that has the Aussie flag on them in the past , now im going out of my way to find them ,hat, thongs, shorts,t shirts anything i can put my hands on so I can wear them with pride even though they are made in china . Love Australia Day on the 26 January
@@anitakerry3032 Same!! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻🇦🇺
@@anitakerry3032 Neither have I! But after this latest despotic ruling from Woolworths I hit ebay - the stuff was in my letterbox this morning. God Bless Australia - I love my sunburnt country. 💕💕
And we'll probably be celebrating Diwalli or Ramadan instead!!
It's the most Australian thing Woolworths has ever done because now all that money won't be going to China
I refuse to shop at Woolworths simply because they’re products are far too expensive for me living on a budget, but obviously someone hasn’t let the bosses at Woolworths know that if you go woke, you will go broke
This is utter crap, Have been shopping at woolworths all my married life (51 years) and followed along by my children but no more until they wake up,
If they won't sell Australia Day merchandise, then should also not be selling any other religious/minority group merchandise as well (Ramadan/Diwali)
Australia day is not a religious day???
And their Halloween garbage
@@bobhoover1066 Tell that to a true bogun Lol 🇦🇺 or Russell Coight 🤣 😂
Love Australia Day. Woolworths must be kicked out from Australia.
Well done Sunrise! Great news report. Sick and tired of woke culture.
The first bit of honest reporting they've done in a VERY long time
I’m an Aboriginal-Australian and I love this country and would die for this country, I work for the government and have been for more than 2 decades. I’m telling you that January 26th is not the right date for me and my people to celebrate because we view it as the start date of our peoples murder, slavery, cultural dispossession and oppression. I want to celebrate my country, but when non-indigenous people tell me to do it on the date their ancestors came her and started hurting my ancestors, I take huge issue with it.
January 26th is not a date we can all unite. And as an Aborignal-Australian I refuse to celebrate my country until we can find a date that suitable not just for you, but me and my people also. The problem is that people like you think that your opinion is the only one that matters, but I’m just as much of an Australian as you and I love this country the same if not more than you. So why shouldn’t I be able to have an Australia Day that’s on a more appropriate and respectful date for all of us. I refuse to celebrate my country on the day the English came here and started dispossessing us.
@@DJDJDJ22 Oh, it's the 'start date' of those things, is it? Those things never happened in this country before 1788, did they? No tribal warfare, conquests, 'cultural dispossession' and 'oppression'? Rhetorical. It happened all the time, don't pretend otherwise.
You tellem Miss Jackie 😀😀
They go with which way the wind blows, do not trust them.
This makes Woolworths unaustralian. It is not for them to decide what we should purchase or have the choice. So sick of people dictating how we should live our lives.
So to take pride in Australia, you want to buy plastic shite made in China?
Yep, if it's not trying to cancel us out or go against our very way of life with recent certain protests, it's now through corporate business. Time to take our country back people ,with leadership that actually cares about our culture, freedoms, national security and piece. Have a GOOD think about that next time you Vote people. It's more than just about a company that wants to take away our choice, Our Flag represents something, with our leadership allowing them to do this.
Hmmm..they pack the store with Halloween junk..but...aus day
when did Australians start doing this ridiculous demonic cultural thing from the USA of Halloween. I bet 80% of Australians would not know the background & meaning behind the different things done for Halloween.
Start with google! " the Halloween holiday has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced “SAH-win”), a pagan religious celebration to welcome the harvest at the end of summer, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts"
The celtics are based in pagan practices which would be based in spiritualism-demonic realm.
Has nothing to do with getting lollies and sweets.
1st November was All saints day and may be still recognised in the catholic/roman catholic religion
Good story! I'll never shop at Woollies again over this,
i vote to boycott halloween... i bet woolies would be worried then as woolies makes a fortune from the halloween 'sheep' who celebrate an american cultural event in australia
It's not American
"One theory holds that many Halloween traditions were influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, which are believed to have pagan roots.[19][20][21][22] Some go further and suggest that Samhain may have been Christianized as All Hallow's Day, along with its eve, by the early Church.[23] Other academics believe Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, being the vigil of All Hallow's Day.[24][25][26][27] Celebrated in Ireland and Scotland for centuries, Irish and Scottish immigrants took many Halloween customs to North America in the 19th century,[28][29] and then through American influence various Halloween customs spread to other countries by the late 20th and early 21st century."
Say no to Woolies
Screw Woolies, I always shop at IGA anyway, support the locals!!!
Then: Woolies
Now: Wokies
Incredible that companies like Woolworths didn’t learn anything from the voice referendum
Woolworths decision makers should stick to making stock decisions based on demand and nothing else.The public aren't interested in management peoples opinions.
Why are you fighting so hard to send billions of dollars worth of Australian dollars to China that's what I want to know
Doesn't bother me, don't shop there anyway. Support local
And pay twice as much lol
@@notsofatmike1some things you pay a bit more but its usually fresher, better quality and helping the local economy
AUSTRALIA DAY IS HERE TO STAY AND I WANT MY AUSSIE MERCHANDISE MESSAGE TO WOOLWORTHS STUFF YOU AND OH AND BY THE WAY HAVEN'T SHOP THERE FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND THAT GOES WITH YOU TOO COLES
OK, 97% of Aussies stay away, the other 3% will be good for Woollworths.
I reckon at least 50% of the 3% will be shoplifters!!
That's smart Business eh
😂😂
😂😂😂 Truth
Ouch!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Ill never shop there again! Disgraceful Woolworths!
I spend a lot of money on groceries at Woolworths but that has stopped from today..
Amazingly good 7 actually covered the story
Surprisingly yes
bit cowards blocked comments
Preschools are not celebrating Australia Day, however they celebrate the national days of other nations that are preschoolers native lands. This is discrimination towards Australians!
I acknowledge and pay my respects to the British and European elders past and present, who introduced civil society and prosperity to Australia!
Shame on you WOOLWORTHS!!
Aussie Aussie Aussie 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I’ll be boycotting Woolworths.
Woolworths The Anti Australia retailer i will be boycotting
Woolworths decides to stop selling Australia Day Merchandise! I have decided to stop shopping at Woolworths 100% for 365 days per year. They will not get my business ever again. While ever they decide to go "Woke" they can go broke. My several thousand a year will not hurt them but if 10% or more people join me in boycotting Woolies it will hurt them and maybe, just maybe get them to stick to retailing rather than politics.
changing the date wont do anything the date of australia day was already changed to the 26th january decades ago which means invasion day so they call it is not the 26th january and they need to learn their history it dont matter what day it is celebrated on they will complain about it
The 26th of January is Australia day
That simple
Coles Redlynch had plenty of Australia Day singlets, t-shirts, flags, paper cups, paper plates, tablecloths, t-towels, streamers, stubby holders, and other items, this morning. They also had plenty of customers, unlike the betrayers.
I get Australia Day stuff from the reject shop and other little shops and my meat for Australia Day from the local butcher or aldi I only shop for cat biscuits and certain food for our dog from Woolworths which is mince trays cause aldi seems to be out of the trays every week and other bits and pieces otherwise it's aldi that I shop at for everything from milk butter and cheese and tins of cat food and whatever else we need we are becoming less Australian every day because of the government and the Aboriginal people
NO Australia day? More like no more Woolworths!!! Go woke, go broke.
We need a Sam Kekovich ad on TV celebrating Australia Day and lamb chops! Where are you Sam?
It is all about PANTS WETTING EXECUTIVES, the gutless wonders of the backrooms?
Go woke, go broke. I prefer to support the Australian owned IGA as opposed to South African owed Wokesworth. Same with German owned Aldi. Neither will be getting my hard earned any more. And changing the date will make zero difference. Australia Day has been held on other dates, so what does it matter. It will NEVER be enough for the woke brigade. And it's particularly galling that these supermarkets put out items to celebrate Diwali, Ramadan and Halloween to name but a few, but not the Australian national day. Time to Bud Light ALL those who go woke.
Do your shopping now at Coles and IGA 👍
Coles isn't actually any better. They were playing 'The Voice' propaganda over their P.A systems for months
@@MrFooChops i never heard that playing at my local Coles !
Coles is probably worse with their voice propaganda, rainbow delivery trucks and pronoun name badges.
@@notsofatmike1 Not where we live, they don't. But if they did, then off to IGA.
Shop local. Local butcher, greengrocer and farmers markets or IGA.
I don’t get it. The first fleet arrived on January 18th 1788 .landed and didn’t like the site so moved on and landed again on the 26th of January 1788 and rose the British flag…not the Australian flag.
I will always celebrate Australia Day on the 26th even if they change the date. It’s my country too
I would never shop at Woolworthless , WOKIES
I'm sure IGA still selling the aussie stuff.
Made in china
Boycott Woolworths they say no demand for Australia 🇦🇺 Day merchandise .But how much merchandise in Woolworths for Halloween that was never celebrated in this country for a very long time
You CANT change the day that the first fleet sailed into Botany Bay, it was JANUARY 26 END OF STORY
@abarthspider3479 Why not...there's more and more people thinking men can be women, and vice versa? For people who don't accept facts, anything can be true.
Australia day is to celebrate the day when we became Australian citizens and could travel as Australian citizens with an Australian passport not as British Subject. Which was the 26th January 1901 not when the first fleet sailed into Botany Bay
BUT we font have to celebrate that .
@@wendyroberts2104 what are we celebrating then
The first fleet did not sail into botany bay on 26th Jan. 26th was when they sailed into sydney cove and raised the flag.
I will bocott Wollies & Big W
Other supermarkets sell the Aussie merchandise, shop there!!!!
No more purchases from woolies
I will never agree to change the Australian Day date. Keep it up Woke while you still can as your time is about to run out soon.
If you oppose Australia Day, then don't forget to go to work on that date in the future.
And donate the penalty rates to a charity as well 😂
No woolies for me then. Off to Coles.
Get off the grass Woolies😂😂
Woolies supports Halloween,which isn't even an Australian holiday,yet they won't support Australia Day.Shame full !!
Wollies sucks !!!!! I will not be shopping there again.
Coles is my new supermarket.
the ceo is south african ya think he ever cooked a bloody lamb chop or a snag . or even knows what it is a national day!!!
Actually, bbq's (braai's) are just as popular in South Africa as they are here. Just saying...
Silly move by Woolworths.
Thanks Sunrise. While most main stream media turn off comments out of terror ordinary people might say what they think of their coverage of stories.
I think this is the first time 7 has let you comment on anything
Hello fellow Australians,
It is I, your favourite federal Leader of Opposing, Peter Dutton.
I hope you all had a happy new year, although I don’t know if you are even allowed to say that these days. Personally my new year's resolution was to focus on what matters most this year, and that is mind numbing culture wars.
Which is why I am so deeply concerned with what is happening at Woolworths this year. In an unprecedented move, they have stopped selling toothpicks with Australian flags on them. Something we as a nation have never seen before! (Except for all the stores, such as Kmart, who stopped selling them already)
This is, simply put, the worst tragedy that has ever happened. Why is this not the focus of the trial happening in The Hague right now?
I understand that this change has been a massive disappointment to all of those quiet Australians who, like myself, feel that the glue keeping this country together was supermarkets selling shorts with flags on them made of polyester that aids the growth of crotch fungus. It’s unclear how the nation can even continue without them.
If we as a nation cannot come together and go to the supermarket to celebrate this great country, by purchasing single use thongs with our flag on them that were terribly made in a sweatshop based in a country that I normally call for a boycott of, then well what is the point of having this day at all?
We must not let this slide. I call on everyone to boycott any business not selling the merchandise and instead spend our money in the place where I was born, The Reject Shop.
And I promise to you Australia, that I will continue to fight for this noble cause and any other I deem equally as important, just as long as the media keeps making whatever I say their top story without any thought to the damage they are causing by doing so.
Let’s Make Australia Day Great Again!
Yours,
Peter Dutton
Leader of the Death Eaters
Will not be shopping there or no insurance renewal
I wont be shoping there ever again
BOYCOTT
It's un-australian, ...and im South American , been here since 1977
What do people expect from a mostly US owned company such as woolworths. The US is trying to take all that is Australian from us and people keep supporting them.
I believe they're mostly South African owned. But nevertheless, the majority shareholders are the usual suspects, Blackrock and Vanguard.
You heard them, apparently they don't want millions of merch dollars for free, so don't give them any.
They own more pokie machines along with coles than any other corporation in Australia. Should tell you what they arw about.
I have no idea who the people are that want to cancel Australia Day and I would like to know what polling numbers they've received, because the average Aussie doesn't want to change the date and we are not willing to give up on our beautiful day of celebration of all the wonderful Multicultural people who live on our beautiful island, Australia. Keep your grubby little hands of our day, because we don't need to change the date and we are sick of the wok crowd making another excuse to cancel Australia Day. It's not invasion day and if you don't want to celebrate with the large majority, then do the right thing by others and stay home.
My family and I have boycotted Woolworths and any companies that Blackrock and Vanguard are associated with!
Sounds like Aldi is following woolies???
Sadly there are no Aldi stores in Tassie.
@@philgrayoz Really...there isn't in north Queensland either!
But there is a good IGA I go to.

Thank you Sunrise for allowing the voices of the public be shared in the comments section... Yay !! Cheers to Sunrise 🎉 for Australia 🇦🇺
Boycott Woolworths and stop thinking only one group of people in this country has problems.
No need to boycott. I filled a trolley with fresh and frozen goodies and left it at the checkout with a polite note saying I’ll be going to Coles to get my Australia Day merchandise.
😂 I hope this is true

@@bgold412 no, he kept him employed. Otherwise he would be out on the street.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. People should send complains to social media of Woolworths.
Best way to do that is to boycott them. They would never read any complaints.
Sure but I don't think their management is smart enough to understand why sales are dropped. They would have no clue. They would spend more time in the meetings to solve the reason but boycott will never be the reason for them. @@alanc6781
No more shopping at woolworths. That name is offensive- it is using a farmers product-Wool, a product that has a fantastic name because of its nation building and quality, to advance its second rate foods and third rate political agenda. All this while stealing off farmers. They should be jailed.
Boycott WEF Wollies
Let's unite and show Woolies how Oppression Day looks like.
Wont be shopping their again.
can be that treated as treason and betrayal ?
I'll be wearing Australian flag pants, t-shirt and hat. I stand with common sense and against woke foolery.
I checked; Coles is selling Australia Day Merch; I now shop at Coles. Woolies WAS my go to shop as it is very close. I'd rather drive to Coles now. I will also be encouraging my eight kids to shop at Coles too. btw: I spend about $300 pw on shopping. So that's my $15000 worth ...per year. Now is someone still wondering why with the VERY NOTICABLE price gouging Woolies is suddenly virtue signaling on some woke garbage??
