That's a bit Chicken Little.One SA Lib. policy that has been overlooked and would be devastating for small business, is the deregulation of shopping hours. If this went ahead, being pushed by the likes of Woolies and Coles, then the small grocer (even the IGA's and Woodland), butcher, baker could be forced out of business.
There has been a fair bit of discussion on local radio and of course all small businesses saying they would be destroyed.
Adelaide is too small to try and be like the bigger cities of the world. Even Poland has decided to close all large shops on a Sunday. The UK's biggest supermarket chain is also not open on Sundays, the same in Germany regarding large shopping centres or cities.
Canberra is about 1/4 the size of Adelaide, and has had far more liberal shopping hours. Visiting Adelaide is like stepping into a time machine and emerging 40 years earlier.
Coles & Woolies here are open from 6am-midnight, and it used to be 24/7. K-Mart is open 24/7, 364 days of the year, though I can't imagine them having many customers at 3am.
The IGAs have the same opening hours as Coles & Woolies. We still have the grocers, bakers, butchers etc. The sky hasn't fallen.
