Coles permanently ends Little Shop collectables
www.news.com.au
The wildly popular Little Shop collectables from Coles will be permanently ended as the supermarket giant vowed to stop handing out plastic toys as part of a new sustainability campaign. This is a win for Australia. Remember John Fahey leaping out of his seat when Sydney was announced for the 2000 Olympics? Instead, Ms Palaszczuk has a petition against her for taking up hotel quarantine. Criticism from people who are neither qualified, experienced or capable of doing what she's doing is hardly justified. Why would you want a life in public office? A win for Australia, a win for Queensland and perhaps a win for Ms Palaszczuk too even though she probably won't be the premier by the time the Brisbane Olympics come around.![]()
