Hi, Hope I’ve got the right place? I want to speak with Olivia Williams about her Change petition about stopping Dan Murphy’s from opening a grog outlet in/near Bagot. I reckon us colonisers have done ENOUGH DAMAGE & I want to spread the word to people who MAY be well-placed to influence Dan Murphy’s/Woolworths/Endeavour Group. One of the things I want to find out is the positions of the people Olivia included as CCd in the petition to Brad Banducci (can’t find them on the Endeavour Group’s website).
Stay strong! In solidarity, Barbary Clarke
PS I LOVE my Clothing the Gap tote bag I got at Share the Spirit!
