Controversy erupts as Woolworths comes under fire for Anzac Day biscuit stocking issues. One Nation senator Pauline Hanson expresses fury.
Anzac Day, a significant national day of remembrance in Australia, is marred by controversy this year.

However, Woolworths faces backlash for allegedly ditching Anzac Day in all stores due to a dispute over Anzac biscuits. The veteran community, including One Nation senator Pauline Hanson, erupts in fury over Woolworths' decision.
The supermarket giant, Woolworths, is at the center of the storm after not stocking Anzac Day biscuit tins this year. Despite stocking Anzac biscuits year-round, the absence of the special tins sparks outrage. The controversy escalates as Woolworths hits back at claims about abandoning Anzac Day traditions, further fueling the heated debate.
In response to the uproar, Woolworths faces heated criticism from veteran diggers and politicians, with Pauline Hanson making a strong statement against the supermarket chain. The dispute highlights the sensitive nature of commemorating Anzac Day and the importance of respecting national traditions.
