[demonsflag555657 3]

I have stoped buying carton milk so i do not support the carltank underbelly club as the afl know as carlton.

We cannot support mr pratt so he can continue to pay the like of juddi$ extra money.

Lets band together to stop this happening. :angry:

Unfortunately we will really never know what consumer goods are supplied with Visy packaging.

Visy package so many products....impossible to boycott them!

1 thing at a time it will hep in the long run just have to be on the ball about it and the pratts will not be doing so well and in the future the next judd might come to mfc not because of those $ that the underbelly's are offering outside of the salary oh sorry carlsalary cap.

Unfortunatley its not that easy. Visy supply 55% of all packaged goods in Australia, that includes cardboard, plastics and paper.

Heres a link to Visy's website which has a picture of just some of the things Visy produce.

For anyone who doesn't know or understand about the whole Richard Pratt/Visy thing, here are a couple of links to articles you should read.

As a very brief summary, Visy and the other rival packageing company made an agreement to up the prices of there products.

As there is no other big company who does packaging, product produces small and large were forced to pay jacked up prices on all their packaging.

This resulted in the produces having to up their prices to the public. Costing you and me, the everyday Australian more money for your milk/coke/just about anything. This made Visy an estimated $700 million.

This made Visy an estimated $700 million.

How the person in question escaped hard time is beyond me. If I was to defraud a bank of 700mil I'm sure it would be a case of don't forget your tooth brush. 2 sets of rules. Same seems to be true at AFL house.
