Multinationals have no right to trade in our communities if the cost is greater than the benefit that trade brings - Maccas is useless trade.

Did you think before you posted or are you just trolling and hoping to get those of lesser intelligence to yourself to get irate?

As you post is suggesting a massive increase in unemployment, economic instability with a massive impact on our balance of payments.

Think about the number of multinational companies in our country. There maybe somethat you approve of their products and/or services and maybe there's some like maccas that you don't.
Either way they all provide a lot of emloyment directly and even more indirectly along with numerous suppliers.
As a starter, you'd be advocating for the complete dismissal of the motor vehicle industry - many thousands out of work.

Not in Australia, as their wages are rigourlessly monitored.

And would you also be against KFC, Hungry Jacks, Red Rooster, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Wendy's, Taco Bills, Gloria Jeans, & Subway (amongst others)?

The footy doesn't know where Tecoma is.
As posted earlier, no need for a Maccas at Tecoma as there's a Maccas in Boronia and one in Fern Tree Gully, and they're only a few kilomteres away.

Actually I used to live in Mt Dandenong, knucklehead. 

There's also a Mcdonalds in Knox, Scoresby, Croydon and Rowville.  That's not the reason for there to not be one in Tecoma.  The reason is it would be in direct competition with smaller businesses that depend on the tourist traffic, and considering Macca's outreach and brand, it would be no surprise to me if small business in the area shut down because of it.

BTW, which Maccas you work at, creep? I would like to know because I still have relatives in Mt Dandneong and want to make sure I don't visit your Maccas because I know you don't wash your hands, and those fries would have a peculiar smell I bet!  Now, isn't it time you went back to studying? Year 9 exams are surely still on, aren't they?

Tecoma is only a dot on a map, about 2 sq kilomters.
Hardly any room as it is.
Very little shops only about a dozen at best so would virtually consume all the other shops in order to have just one Maccas.
The attraction isn't Maccas
What looks more likely is that Maccas will build another in Belgrave, or Upwey.

It won't stop the loss of these small businesses as Aldi are coming anyway.

Bet these protesters won't be upset when Subway move into Tecoma.

Yep, Aldi will destroy hospitality businesses. You knucklehead.
