Greens MP Adam Bandt led the charge against the singlet that reads "LOVE IT OR LEAVE", posting an image of the clothing to Facebook that was being stocked by Woolworths in Cairns and Sydney.


"The singlet was not one we ordered. The sentiment expressed on the singlet does not reflect the views of Woolworths. Woolworths has a policy of 'Doing the Right Thing' which means we believe in fostering an environment where everyone is treated with dignity, courtesy and respect," said Woolworths in a statement posted on Mr Bandt's Facebook page.


However the embarrassing backdown from Woolworths sparked a new debate on Tuesday. It was led by those who supported the singlet.
