Woolworths has responded to furious criticism levelled by One Nation senator Pauline Hanson over the stocking of RSL Australia’s limited-edition Anzac biscuit tins.
Woolworths has bluntly shut down Pauline Hanson’s claims the supermarket has left veterans in the dust in the lead-up to Anzac Day.
“I haven’t shopped at Woolworths ever since they announced they wouldn’t be supporting Australia Day,” Senator Hanson wrote online. However, Woolworths has told news.com.au that the supermarket giant was selling multiple items for Anzac appeals and has raised almost $13 million for the cause over the past decade.
The tins feature designs commemorating different wars and conflicts and are collectable items, with a portion of the profits supporting the RSL to aid veterans and their families. “Over the last ten years, Woolworths has raised more than $13 million during both our ANZAC and Poppy Appeals by making badges available for purchase in stores, providing direct and crucial support to the veteran community nationwide.
“I collect those tins and value them greatly because of my association. I’m very, very sorry to hear that Woolworths won’t do it ,” Mr Bartlett told 2GB’s Ben Fordham.
