Woolies was the first to place profits and the shareholder in higher priority than the supplier AND the customer. Here in WA they never had a 10 cents per litre extra for the farmer, why should we expect them to do it now?

The farmers screwed themselves when they began to tamper with milk. I preferred the days when dairies provided one milk and delivered it themselves.

I'd prefer to wait for Coles to announce what they are going to do. Whilst they said they would not add 10c to milk, they did say they were working on a more permanent solution. Let's wait to see what that turns out to be before calling for boycotts and the like. In the meantime you could always buy the branded milk from Coles instead.

People don’t need to eat dairy products and meat. They can survive very well without them. If you must eat meat go and kill it yourself. Livestock farming is unsustainable in dry Australia. 

You're "surviving" well without it jackie, hmm

I hunt bison, I hit them between the eyes with my slingshot! 

The corporations are making sure China will run the farms. More money for them and their governing body puppets won’t stop it.

... exactly!  Saw an interesting segment on ABC World News early a.m today.....reported that China is stockpiling more food than other countries realise and buying up more property/manufacturing/farms etc. worldwide than ever before!

Aways been "said" China will take over the world!    Nice !!!

the price of bread is also going to rise with the drought causing shortage of grain, Wonder if Woolies will want an extra 10 cents of the customers to donate to the farmers.

If you opened your eyes you would see that most of those people playing the pockies are of working age.  Your constant lies and misinformation are an embarrassment, mostley to yourself.

I doubt that you have paid much tax at all, your attitude would render you unemployable.

Hahahaaaaaa .........  ex PS

Too right, who would employ a wanker like FormerLaborvoter (aka loathesome lothario) ?

I have never bought the cheap milk I have always bought the milk that goes to the FArmers and will always do so -- but so many people are just buying the cheapest with NO thought to what they are in for down the track

Regarding cheap milk, I always buy Norco, a 100% Australian farmer owned dairy co-operative with 214 dairy farms in northern NSW and SEQ. Beautiful milk.

Was the woman you're thinking of ... social justice advocate Vilma Ward?

If so, she's still going strong with advocacy apparently.

Trade unions were responsible for rising prices .

stupid woman was trying to protect her husband and at the same time make some money on the side 

typical labor hypocrite 

LEONIE,   i know where you are coming from,  WAYYYY,   back in the day,  when first married ,  and my first toddler,   i would have been glad of cheap milk,    a LOT of families would  be buying the cheaper brands,   same as the $1 loaves of bread,   kids have to be fed,   and many could not afford the dearer brands,    but they are not to be condemmed,  just because money is short,     but if you can afford those few extra cents,    then buy it,  

There was a rumour that Hinze changed milk licencing laws and then bought up most of the licenses on the Gold Coast Hinterland, I think it was before he got the Police portfolio and swore to everyone that there was no organized crime in Queensland.

As a kid I new Vilma, my mum was one of her original supporters in Inala.  If she made money out of her cause it was not evident at the time. 

Beer is for bogans 

drink champagne and the occasional gin and tonic on a hot summers day 

Gin and tonic??? LOL 

A typical feminine drink, you've given yourself away, haha

im with you Lothario.     love a gin on a hot day,    RAY,   my husband is as macho and manly as anyone,   and LOVES a gin squash,     know plenty of men who drink gin,  

Gin is a feminine drink? Tell that to all the men who drank it to stave off malaria in the tropics for eons.

It’s what kept tne empire alive in India Ceylon Malaysia and Singapore in the hot humid climate 

beautiful on a hot hot day 

ignore the peasants guys 

ill drink to that,  lol,  

Babe , I know you . You’ll drink to anything :))

HEY HEY LOTHARIO,    keep it nice,   i dont drink at all now,  [mores the pity]  those days are gone,  but im sure you drink my share,  lol,  

Full cream is back in fashion? I thought diligent research was back in fashion showing any animal fat especially milkfat/cream leads to health problems...but if you shake yourself daily you wont get clots, right? :)

When you homogenize milk, you not only change the size of the fat globules, you also rearrange the fat and protein molecules—which could alter how they act in the human body.

When you homoginize milk it gives perfect opportunity to steal any extra cream from the milk. 

So if you had a milking farm you could call it a Dromedairy.

Hey Abe, a Dromedairy, that's a good one!
