Love your work Shane Jacobson ❤️

So ….I’m filming in Dandenong today and it turns out I’m literally across the road from the Woolworths Workers picket line. At the end of my shoot I walked over to say hi and met a few of the wonderful workers then 2 minutes later around the corner this IGA truck drives past ….. anyway just thought I would share the pics….. oh and if you are interested that IGA truck is most likely full of stock heading to IGA stores which have shelves filled with everything you may need if your local Woolworths shelves are empty….. and yes this did all actually just happen by coincidence. .. which makes it even funnier ….. but all still true.
