Grocery Choice: Canned

Not happy Jan.

The Grocery Choice project seems to be canned. Not happening.

This is something definitely as a young family with large grocery bills, only looking to expand than contract to be able to see and compare grocery pricing online - would be invaluable.

Well it seems it is valuable. Valuable to large supermarket chains - who take at least $500 of our familys' expenditure a month.

Quoting Sydney Morning Herald:

"Following a heated meeting in Canberra on Friday morning which was attended by Coles, Woolworths, Franklins, Aldi and Metcash executives, the minister for competition policy and consumer affairs, Craig Emerson, made the decision to scrap the grocery price monitoring website, just six days before its scheduled launch next Wednesday. Dr Emerson denied he had been bullied into the decision, which he said was his alone."

Disappointed. Annoyed. Let down.

What's that I hear?

A shift of thousands of hands to the sky?

Definition of Wowser:

Wowser around 1900 shifted to its present meaning: one whose sense of morality drives them to deprive others of their sinful pleasures, especially liquor.

Tony totally has a stick up his butt. I think it's so firmly lodged up there you can see it when he smiles. Just watching Q&A with Tony Jones, he seriously needs to get with the times. He's telling a priest that everyone needs to aspire to live good catholic lives, abstinence, anti-abortion-led narrow minded outdated and overall backwards way of thinking.

How about one word for you Tony, RESPECT. Respect people - be kind, Respect Choices - less judgement. It's the only thing I don't like about living on the Northern Beaches, I live in your freaking electorate.
