Spot on!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's because that's all Cairns has to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't any decent boutique stores left so we're just left with big corporations who tell us where gourmet chef's shop at and that we should shop there too.

Perfect decision. Everyone shops for groceries, and the extra jobs and work is needed locally. I'm with the post here.
ReplyDeleteMr T Rex the observation wasn't about the longer hours... but the story placement... ... plus surely there's more important news to cover on the front page???!?!!!!
ReplyDelete1) people can stay out later and then can still do their shopping after? not such a bad thing, shows Cairns as more of a Metro town than a hicksville
ReplyDelete2) People shopping later can maybe only do it then, if there is another shop open around it...maybe they go in.. not such a bad thing for the local economy
3) More work for Cairns locals...do i need to spell that one out?
4) Advertising of the Coles and Woolworths size are national!! open up another paper you will see they advertise in there as well.
5) you hate the newspaper
For all these reason i say well done for putting on the front page!
front page perfect for a story that makes a difference to every reader. I stand by my previous comment. Agree to disagree on this one.
ReplyDeleteWho would be risking their necks hanging around shopping centre car parks at that hour of the night in this town, particularly on weekends?
ReplyDeleteDo you seriously believe the reason it made the front page was due to their money spent on advertising with the Post? That is really grasping at straws. Your lack of objectivity damages your credability regarding the Post.
