## Resource

A small-town hardware legend is going head-to-head with Bunnings in federal court, claiming the giant’s planned mega-store next door will crush his family’s 90-year-old business. David Woodman, who bought his store with his brother and father in 2018, argues Bunnings’ expansion violates competition laws and threatens his survival — even killing his own expansion plans. His legal team is seeking an injunction and damages, plus a rare court order to shield him from Bunnings’ potential legal fees, which could run into millions. Bunnings, part of Wesfarmers, remains silent but defends its move as healthy competition, bringing jobs and choice to the area. The judge has heard six hours of arguments and is now deciding on Woodman’s legal cost protection — a verdict expected early next month. This is a classic David vs. Goliath showdown in the hardware world. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
