As dodgy as the 'shop' has become over the last few years, it seems that whatever starts out as being 'Aussie' ends up in foreign hands, whether it's through the hands of politicians or just plain and simple (deliberate?) 'mismanagement'.
The iconic Melbourne brand started out in the inner
Melbourne suburb of South Yarra in 1981 and grew into a nationwide superstore.
Many articles have been written in the mainstream media on
the 'downfall' of the brand, where the bottom line is that another dodgy
family/corporation/shelf-company/tax exempt conglomerate trading from a tax
haven will snap up a bargain based on the devalued trading stock price.
Whatever the deal, you can bet your heavily taxed dollar that
the (Aussie) workers will be screwed over again, or even replaced by cheap
overseas labour.
Globalisation, capitalism at its finest, in the administrative (penal) colony called Australia.
