Woolworths: Profiting From Poverty
What's this all about?
Woolworths is Australia's largest owner and operator of dangerous high-loss poker machines. New research commissioned by GetUp shows that Woolworths target socially disadvantaged communities with their machines.
Woolworths shareholders have initiated an Extraordinary General Meeting that will be held in November to vote on a proposal that would require Woolworths to make their machines safer by limiting bets to $1 and losses on their machines to $120 an hour.
