I am totally over the virtue signalling epidemic that is sweeping over Australia!

It's not slowing down Brigitte. Expect it to continue and gather yet more pace. Most corporations are now signed up to all sorts of things that require them to meet Diversity Inclusion and Equity targets.

I am sorry to say "The Acknowledgement of Country" will not benefit the Aborigines community at all. I am afraid there is planned agenda based on the acknowledgement if and when The Aborigines Voice in Parliament is passed. NSW is proposing Land Tax over Stamp Duties. Why??? My thought only.

I haven't shopped at Coles for years and I will NEVER enter one of their stores again.

Virtue signaling from 'woke' company directors is about as offensive as it gets.

Good luck going almost anywhere that doesn't engage in it Allen!

Well said James. That's news to us!! The unvaccinated can't have a job in Coles?? Serious?? And why is that?? Because those who are vaxxed still get covid and still pass it on ...... so why can't an unvaxxed person get a job?

Whatever happened to "my body, my choice?" 🤔

Coles may think they're virtuous but they really are a disgrace.

There is no logic in logic. The unvaccinated can't have a job in Coles but able to shop there. I think everyone at the management level had 1 too many jab that their brains are fried.

Thanks for that. I hadn't noticed that on the receipts. Once I have spent my Flybys money I will be avoiding them unless I cannot. They already have such a poor selection of groceries. The court acknowledgement drives me insane, such a waste of time and of no use to the aboriginal people. How many women and children will be saved from violence and abuse because of it? I didn't know the vaccination thing too. I learn so much from you, James.

That's the irony, right? Hardly anyone had noticed the acknowledgement it's that small. That's how committed Coles are to it!

A traditional custodian was given the "heads up" about the new virtue signal by Coles, sensing an opportunity he rocks on down to his local Coles & loads up his trolley & walks out. The Manager observed this & fronted the man & said; " Err excuse me Sir, I don't mean to be rude but it appears that you forgot to pay for your groceries just now" & the traditional custodian said ," read the receipt fella, you're on my land now nick off.

Truly James the virtue signalling insanity is gathering speed like an avalanche.

Here is another one that Coles could use for their CSR agenda.

‘ Coles acknowledges the staff who through concern, research and coercion chose no to have the v a x. The Coles Group now recognises your sacrifice past and present for the greater good, and welcome you back to our employ, This to fulfil our DIE belief in diversity, inclusion and equality for all.’

Thank you for sharing this. I always shop and Coles but take no notice of the docket, as you say, so many don't. I will have words with them and change my ways

Same here Dianne.🤔

What a trivial, insignificant, mealy mouthed attempt to virtue signal your way into the hearts of people that really do need a better lot in life. Even Jacinta Price is over being “welcomed”, while people in communities continue to suffer.

This token gesture is unlikely to change a single life.

I will avoid Coles, on principle, as much as I can.

Jacinta Price is the best thing to happen to Australian politics in a long time!
