The problem is Australian's get paid one of the highest wages in the world yet expect to be paying third world prices.

Don't know too much about sugar but it makes me sick to watch people buy coles milk.

Extracts from a recent article:

"The move to offer $1 a litre for milk is having a disastrous impact on farmers, milk distributors and smaller milk retailers."

"While cheap milk is good for consumers, the long-term impact on farmers, distributors and non-supermarket customers doesn't look so flash. Two years ago in Britain, the big four grocery chains reduced the price of house brand milk. The impact was catastrophic with herds declining and milk imports rising."

Ironically the .20 cent penny pinching consumers do now may eventually cost them there job in the not to distant future, If not already.

Pay the extra .20 cents for the good of your fellow Australian.
