Woolworths to sell Australian flags ahead of the Paris Olympics

Woolworths will sell Australian flags ahead of the Paris Olympics after controversially pulling them off shelves for Australia Day. The supermarket giant has admitted it disappointed its customers when it removed Australian flags from its shelves ahead of Australia Day. Woolworths said in a statement: “Given the Australian flag is the official flag of the Australian Olympic Committee and of our team competing in Paris, a locally made handheld Australian flag ... will also be available for customers.”
