If "Dick Smith" tried to claim a tax deduction for "Dick Smith Foods" it would be against the law. Most people can understand they are two completely different things in the eye of ATO & ASIC.
Dick the Aviator obviously has a fair bit of say in Dick's Food but they are separate things.
And obviously Dick's Food should claim EVERY deduction to minimize its tax, so it can donate more. Kerry Packer put it very well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOLbbkC1qq0
*** A big Thanks to Dick and all at Dick Smiths Foods for helping the farmers help the farmers. I challenge the other big two/3 WoolColAld to match this kind needed donation.

Thanks everyone.
I have always considered the money that is donated by DSF comes from the Australians who buy the products - not from myself.
So thanks to all those who make the effort to find our products that are often in the most lousy position in the supermarket.
The imported products which make the supermarkets the most profit will always be given the best shelf position.
I have never complained about this- it's a fact of life as the supermarkets have to have never ending growth in profits or the board will get the sack.

But the "Big River' Supermarket here still does not stock your OzeNuts line.
Most annoying!I spoke to you about that once quite some time ago.
Anyway, I concur with the OP.

Dick once said that talking to me over NAS was like trying to talk sense into his teenage daughter. However, no offence was taken. Dick has his beliefs and I have mine when it comes to 'airspace reform.'
That said, his philanthropy is legend and he is a 'great Australian' in my mind. This latest initiative deserves 'pushing up the board' and after initially reading the thread, and off for the daily shopping, I determined that I was going to get some DSF to help the cause. Nothing, nada, zip on the shelves at the local Coles, which was pretty disappointing.
Consequently, I'll make a direct contribution to a worthy cause. There's people out there doing it tough and I certainly don't mind spending a few bucks for the battlers in the bush that are doing it far harder than me.
Dick's also right in respect of cheap imports that we, collectively, buy in preference to the local product.
The DSF beetroot was the best and juiciest that I've ever tasted and it's gone - undercut by a few cents and that riles me. The burgers for our annual Boxing Day bbq, while watching the cricket, don't come close. We now have to put up with (no choice) imported crap.
Merry Christmas, Dick, to you and yours.

Thanks Howabout
Re the Beetroot. The German owned Aldi started selling Aussie grown Beetroot at 75 cents a can. This was below the manufactured cost of about 90 cents a can.
Woolies and Coles matched the price and within 12 months the last Aussie owned cannery went broke.
All very sad. We no longer have any Beetroot to sell. Most now comes from NZ and tastes lousy as the soil is different
I fear Aussie Aviation is going down the same route

Looks like Dick is doing more than just help out our Aussie farmers.

Good onya mate! While I fully can't agree with your view of the "big 2 or should that be 3 now with Aldi" (work for one of them so every poke I see you make against them is a poke directed at hundreds of hard working aussies just trying to make a living that I work with daily) things like this makes the kind of person you are stand out!
