Macca's is going to jack up prices in low-income demographic areas

Because they think that the low-income people won't whinge.
A confidential corporate document obtained by The Daily Telegraph reveals that McDonald's Australia has identified an "opportunity to introduce more aggressive price increases" at dozens of stores across NSW, including Campbelltown, Doonside, Engadine, Epping, Fairfield, Gosford, Greenacre, Hurlstone Park and Liverpool.

A McDonald's franchisee said the biggest price hikes were concentrated in lower income areas around Australia.
Part of the "beauty" of Macca's is that everything is the same and the prices are the same no matter where you go.

I recall up here for a while Hash Browns at Kenmore Maccas were only 85c, but the ones at Jindalee were $1.

More nannying, Hungry Jacks Quad Stack

Outrage as Hungry Jacks introduces their Quad Stack (double double) burger with a massive 1,880 calories (4520kj) and about a million grams of fat.

With more than 70 grams of fat, health experts say the sale of the burger is irresponsible, at a time when Australia is fighting an obesity epidemic.

The cry is heard that there should be restrictions on what people can consume...

It's for our own good, after all.

If they're so concerned, why don't they tax it out of existence, which is what's going to happen with "Working Families".

I guess this motorist made his opinion known.
