Woolworths limited


Farmers will attack the govt but not their supermarket giant customers

Farmers appear to have no qualms about attacking the government, but the raised fist turns into a cat’s paw when the time comes to criticise their largest customers, the retail giants, writes Matthew da Silva.

Woolworths asks: how can we enforce grog limits at the checkout?

Under the new alcohol regime in the NT, any licensee or employee of a take-away bottle shop commits an offence if, when selling alcohol with more than 1,350ml of ‘pure’ alcohol content, they do not verify the purchaser’s identity. But how can police and retailers possibly enforce this? writes Bob Gosford.
