Not being a big business apologist, but...
I think that they aren't allowed to have a bottle shop without owning a pub as well, due to the laws in NSW. And along with the pub comes the pokies, well in NSW at least. I get the feeling they don't really care about the pub side of things, they just want to have their BWS bottle shop next to the supermarket.
This campaign feels all a bit strange when you live in WA, where the only pokies are at the casino
Man I'm glad the government over here got at least that one thing right.
