Fremantle markets. Golden goose is a swan song

It's a new year. Last year there was hope and an opportunity to turn things around but the time has come to accept what is and walk away. Too many talking and too few listening. I think it's important to speak up and it's important to fight against injustice and or stupidity. It's important to throw all you have at it. But there comes a day when you must accept that there are higher pictures in place and quite often good things come from bad.

Future consequences are usually preditcable from past experience if one maintains awareness. Empathy is an excellent teacher but for some, failure, loss or grief needs to be experienced before they get the lesson.

When people are in the right place it feels right. When stress, fear, worry and anger take over your life it's time to move on. There are infinite ways to make money or replace money. There are infinite ways of enjoying your life. New pathways rarely appear if you won't turn the corner.

The Murdoch's were given the goose that laid the golden eggs. They jumped on its belly to see if it would lay more. I don't get it, you don't understand it, we all tried to explain that if they fed, nurtured and protected it they would have eggs for ever. We warned them that they would kill it. We sceamed when they jumped. But, that's just the way some people are...

For reasons very different to Brad Pettitts - It's time we all moved on.

Vacant stalls are now everywhere(even with casual stallholders who have been begged to come in on subsidized rents). What do the Murdochs do about this....conduct a survey into yet ANOTHER change of opening hours. Customers can choose whether they want us to open at 9am or 10am in the Hall. Talk about polishing the decks of the Titanic as it sinks!

If 30 businesses left the Cafe Strip would anyone react?
If a shopping centre doubled rents, downsized and relocated businesses, offered only month to month tenancies,bought in conflicting tenants, prohibited established products or suppliers, would they get away with that?
Would any business invest in stock and fittings without a secure lease?
Why would customers buy products from a market if the costs and availabilty were comparable in an air conditioned, spacious, well equipped shopping centre with on site free parking, clean and organized amenities, child minding and community areas?
Why would anyone drive to Fremantle to buy anything that is readily available in their own suburb?
