Woolworths re-introduces "Australia Day" merchandise amid backlash over its initial removal.

Australian supermarket chain Woolworths will reintroduce an "Australia Day" section in its stores after facing backlash for removing related merchandise in 2024. The company had initially cited declining demand and discussions about the significance of January 26. In response to criticism, including a boycott call from opposition leader Peter Dutton, Woolworths will now offer Australian-themed food and products for the long weekend, aligning with the National Australia Day Council's theme of "reflect, respect, and celebrate."
