Supermarket giant Coles has revealed the huge cost to its WA operations from floods that cut the crucial rail link to the Eastern States earlier this year and kept shelves bare for weeks.
Coles wants Government intervention to fix vital infrastructure such as the trans-Australia rail line, which was damaged for the second time in two years as floods hit the State’s east in March, arguing such moves would enhance competition in the supermarket industry.
Good to know Cole’s is a responsible user of rail in Australia. Believe woolworths is also.
If only other businesses like Australia post would start to use rail and reduce tier emissions.
