Lucretia of Lugano at it again, dodging responsibility again this time as the NSW Liberals president. Always a perfect example of the Peter Principle in action.
Richard Shields has been sacked as the Liberal Party State Director over the debacle which led to 140 council candidates not being nominated for local government elections. INTERACTIVE: See which councils are affected. STORY bit.ly/3YK4AaE

I was once one of those who maintained a booking policy of ‘unless it’s Boeing, I’m not going’ but whilst living in Europe I often had no choice. The 737 debacle changed my policy. Boeing’s legacy vanished into thin air. Saving it will take years afr.com/companies/transport/…

Actually never personally has to return and item bought online before, but boy is it fun! @BIGW makes it such a pleasure, up there with an ice water enema whilst being stabbed in the eyes.

Lets see if he manages to pull it off - would be the best outcome for Wilko in terms of jobs saved, though frankly 350 stores is too many to retain, given a significant tail of low/negative contribution stores (likely 100+). The business will also require significant investment.
BREAKING: I’m told HMV tycoon Doug Putman has made a new offer to administrators of collapsed discount retailer Wilko - 350 stores and 10,000 jobs. Still not at all clear whether he’ll get anywhere. More to follow…

Does anyone by chance remember Skin Deep clothing in Elizabeth Street Sydney? What became of it, who the founders were? Doing a little research for a side project.

Latham’s grubby efforts have cemented his target into the seat, extending beyond the pathetic efforts by Yabsley that actually boosted the popularity of predecessor.

Congratulations Mark Latham on an effort that extends beyond the proverbial ‘own goal’. Managed to turn someone whose policies should be scrutinised into a virtual saint, untouchable. So much so, Fred Nile… FRED NILE! has come out in support (check file on old Fred in 70s &80s).

- Non confrontation policy of many retailers for legal and staff safety reasons. - Possibility some inspired by social media coverage of shoplifting sprees elsewhere in the world. - and then there’s the 2 speed economy, with some folk being hit hard. 2/2

Well let’s have a think about this… - 2020-2022 lockdowns meant a decline in shoplifting (hard when closed). - Many large retailers have actually cut security staff, moving from well staffed in-house teams to 1 or 2 uniformed powerless rent a cops. 1/2
