Woolworths shareholders reject motion to halt Tasmanian salmon sales, despite environmental concerns.

Woolworths shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a motion to stop selling farmed salmon from Tasmania's Macquarie Harbour, which critics claim threatens the endangered Maugean skate. The company’s chairman, Scott Perkins, emphasized their commitment to responsible sourcing, stating all own-branded seafood is certified as ecologically responsible. Woolworths plans to review its salmon supply after the federal election, amid ongoing scrutiny over its environmental practices.
