Does Mullumbimby need a Woolworths? This 14 year-old student and singer/songwriter doesn't think so.

Prices at Woolworths will only be cheap until they have put the local fruit and veg, butchers and bakers out of business. Then have another look at your docket.

Thank goodness that's not true- yet!

Great song. I live in Maleny and we had our own struggle a few years back. Only a concerted effort by local people to continue supporting our small stores and local supermarket in the face of undercutting saved our main street. We lost our battle to keep them out, but we did win concessions in that they had to abandon a larger box design and make a more aesthetically pleasing building facade. We are busy growing trees along Obi Obi Creek to fully screen it out from view. Good onya Mullum.

Great singing and peaceful protest. Whilst some prices will go down, on the whole things get more expensive for the town. There will be less jobs, less creativity, less organic range, less local produce etc, etc.

I agree with Byron, large company tactic is to enter at a low price, knock down competition then up prices when there's no longer a choice. Happening in Albany a lot too. Woolworths have their place in big cities, lets leave them there and allow small towns to retain their character.

Just like to point out the half of the people shop at woolies and one of the chief people protesting about it was seen shopping in woolies up the coast

@fretboardyoda What a stupid argument . you don't need to inherit money to have an alternative lifestyle , in fact the opposite is more true.

Great video i was at the protests and hate what they are doing to our town...

the video shows Mulumbimby as we know and love it.. Woolworths is NOT progress...
