As someone who comes from these communities i can tell you 100% then is going to drive people out of farming. When the water buybacks happened in the past it drove a lot of farmers to the wall with just how little they could produce. They are already feeling like this could happen again.

Chemist Warehouse merging with Sigma Healthcare to become $8.8 billion ASX-listed company (www.abc.net.au)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by MHLoppy2@aussie.zone to c/news@aussie.zone

Chemist Warehouse has struck a deal with Sigma Healthcare to create the biggest pharmacy company in Australia [...] a company with a value in excess of $8.8 billion.

It also makes Sigma Healthcare a substantially bigger player in the market. Right now, Sigma has a market capitalisation of $810 million — but the deal grows its value by almost 11 times.

But it's not only the monetary value of the company that makes this such a big deal — it would also make it one of the top 100 companies listed on the ASX.

The merger will create three tiers of pharmacy that won't compete with each other: the big box discount (Chemist Warehouse), the full service (Amcal, My Chemist) and the discount (Discount Drug Stores).

Notes on edited title

My title options were:

Chemist Warehouse may be a discount pharmacy, but it's agreed to a merger worth $8.8 billion
What does the Chemist Warehouse merger with Sigma Healthcare mean for the pharmacy giant?

So I edited it for a more descriptive one lol.

"In Catholic morality, consent is necessary, but not sufficient, to make the sexual act right or wrong. It is the long-held teaching of Christ that sexual activity is only legitimately expressed within the loving relationship between husband and wife."

Er. Who's going to tell them?
