Sadly I expect we will see a lot more of this over the next 12 months or so in particular in Victoria.
Hi Jack,
Things may not be as bad as it seems as Ampol has just been dug from their grave so you may still get that birthday card.
I'm not sure if brand loyalty is that important in Aus but many years ago I heard that in America that over 5 million people follow Nascar racing every week religiously and they will only use whatever products that are advertised on the car they follow, be it Coke, Pepsi, Nulon, or maybe even Ampol. To me advertising doesn't influence what I buy but it obviously works because manufacturers pour billions of dollars into it every year
