Jacksons Supplies and Wood Guy — with Matt Burnell MP and 3 others in South Australia.
5 days ago
It is time for the truth to come out about the Department for Correctional Services and Mobilong Prison Industries. For more than two years, I have attempted in good faith to negotiate with the South Australian Government, yet at every turn there has been no accountability, no attempt at understanding, and no meaningful solutions. Instead, we have been passed from department to department in what appears to be an effort to delay, deflect, and ultimately wear us down until we simply go away.
In 2018, Jacksons Supplies was cold-called by a uniformed officer from the Department for Correctional Services, representing the Government of South Australia on behalf of the Prison Industries.
What was presented as a golden opportunity was, in reality, built on a series of false representations, including misleading claims about the previous contract holders and the actual capacity of the program.
What we believed would be a straightforward and sustainable arrangement instead became a situation where we were dragged down alongside a sinking ship. We immediately lost of over $50,000 to an unauthorized release of goods. The SA Government gave us a new contract under better conditions and spoke of (supposedly) better oversight going forwards.
We now find ourselves once again significantly financially harmed by the Department for Correctional Services, with @Farm Fresh Markets - Murray Bridge, receiving the new contract and being told all sorts of things about Jacksons Supplies that are completely untrue. As well as DCS staff blaming things on FFM which I now suspect to have been the Department for Correctional Services covering for themselves.
A supplier has also contacted us and told us that a DCS staff member told them that Jacksons Supplies had 'entered insolvency' in 2024, also untrue. This was an action taken by the Prison after they overproduced truck-loads of goods after we clearly paused production for the summer, and they continued; filled the sheds and then continued production until goods were spilling into the car-park, allegedly left in the rain, which I ordered them to unpack and destroy any rain-damaged (moldy) timber at their own cost. They sent us the bill for the overproduced goods and then held it over us, forcing us to be further financially trapped by them during a negotiation process about their own alleged misconduct. When I reported this to the GM of the Mobilong Prison I will allege he said something like "That's just the boys having some fun." Their idea of fun is staff destroying the livelihoods of small family businesses to cover up for incompetence, a lack of governance and oversight.
The Department investigated itself and found no wrong-doings. After 'a bit' of a push, that's not what happened, is it? Why does a department need a push to do the basic right thing?
The longstanding treatment by DCS staff and omissions by uniformed Department for Correctional Services staff created limitations that prevented our small family business from; a. exiting while having the original agreement met. b. exiting without significant financial harm. c. understanding that our role was sacrificial 'fall-guy'/'middle-man'.
I went through the correct pathways of calling the Office for Public Integrity and Ombudsman SA, which resulted in a call from an anonymous number stating that I would be "made an example of" if I continued to do so. That is really unusual. Is that "the boys having some fun"? (it was a woman).
This is not a fair situation to be placed in; accordingly; I have generously spent my time gathering evidence and have sent a number of internal emails to the relevant CE and Minister and a few extras so everyone knows what has really been going on in Murray Bridge, Mobilong Prison.
The names above are why there's no Wood Guy kindling or firewood this year and they cannot pretend they don't know. It's not our fault that there's no more; 1. free bags with every order. 2. % to a childhood cancer charity. 3. local donations. (not zero but extremely limited) 4. giveaways this year. We have no control over the Governments internal conduct.
We are extremely grateful for the support/assistance of the Small Business Commission SA who facilitated and provided an avenue for DCS to right their wrongs. and the office of Matt Burnell MP, who advocated for and assisted us by directing us to the Minister for Small and Family Business.
The SA Government exploited our circumstances, including the hardship caused by being sidelined through government misconduct, and our ongoing frustration with the alleged and evident misconduct throughout this matter; to pressure us into signing an agreement that is profoundly unfavorable to Jacksons Supplies under a time limited 'take it or get nothing' arrangement.
This occurred despite the fact that I had offered to withhold certain emails relating to G4S, Woolworths, Coles, OTR, and their alleged involvement in a program that was supposedly designed to support and benefit small local businesses. I'm now thinking these groups don't know anything about it and will need to know that DCS was making representations about them to further themselves.
Their program? Wack. Their department? Wack. Their governance? Wack. Their Ministers? Wack. The SA Government? Wack.
"was willing to honour as a good will gesture to enhance the partnership which works both ways and not I just one way." - DCS
Except for when its time for it to go our way, then it does go one way, the SA Government way.
That's where Wood Guy went. It wasn't Jacksons Supplies fault. Ever since we raised concerns, I’ve been treated like the one who did something wrong. All this on our shoulders and the SA Government have nothing for us except for excuses. Stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from a small business is bad. It's not complicated Peter Malinauskas.

I am so sorry you had to live this Jackson Supplies. The SA government ministers and in particular some of those you named who have of course moved to other portfolios since leave a wake of people that who suffer to the extreme but never get a hearing. He may be in power but resentment will be his legacy, along with a massive volume of social media posts from coffee shops to major projects and even claiming credit for Bedford. At Country Cabinet in Mt Gambier recently I lost count of how many times he said " I did, I was, I will, I went, I am". ' I am a leader" he said. There is no 'I' in Team " Sneaky Pete". your ministers vote on bills with no real world experience invited to give input.
People fall for fake claims & these pages! AI has made them easier to make and more believable but after a quick look it's easy to see. A 2 day old account shouldn't have 1000 likes!
Take a good look at our wholesale bagged firewood and kindling pages before they disappear forever.
Years of hard work built from nothing. We paid our taxes, paid our creditors and followed all of the rules. All gone because we trusted the wrong people.
In 2018, a Prison Industries manager cold-called us into a bagged kindling program in Murray Bridge, South Australia and proposed it would make our family enough for Dad to retire on. That the program would provide a "nest egg" and it's "the States best kept secret".
How f'kin' stupid are we?
Since then: - The program has fallen apart a dozen times. - Over $50,000 worth of product sent off the books, we've only recovered $23,000 which we had to do privately. - More than $15,000 refunded to our customers after moldy, rain damaged kindling was supplied direct from the Prison to our customers. - Accounts dont add up because they kept changing the prices and have changed the price retroactively several times. - Copying and pasting our contract to someone else and hiding it from us for as long as possible, including lying to maintain the deception for several months. - Tens of thousands of goods overproduced and told we have to take them, and exploited us into taking them. Over $50,000 worth of bags thrown out by the prison because we refused to take them back. - Been told that there are "territories" and we have to stay out of certain ones like Murray Bridge, Litthampton & Pooraka as well as the entire fresh produce/super-market & grocery industry. - Years of being told that we effectively have to do them favors to maintain our business venture and partnership, to "build something together".
On top of that, tens of thousands spent on websites, marketing, and building a network… plus hundreds of thousands in wages over 8+ years.
We built something genuine that we were proud of. The work we put in created and sustained supply chains that stretched across South Australia, from the Northern Suburbs to Kangaroo Island, and into a vast network of rural independent grocers. That included remote country towns, independent service stations, and countless firewood and landscaping yards across multiple regions, most of them small, family-run businesses.
Then watched it get dismantled by selfishness, stupidity, greed, and incompetence. In Murray Bridge we've learned all sorts of new things about our business that we never knew ourselves! When we finally spoke up about the misconduct, we were told to wait. New Minister. Then another. Then another. The worst part is the lack of accountability. "Investigated themselves and found no wrongdoings" is what everyone landed on, despite admitting to oversight issues, contract management issues and governance issues over several years.
We’re a two-person small family business. Scan our barcodes; it goes straight to us. The new contract holder? 30-40+ staff. Scan their barcode; it leads to a business worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
They didn’t build anything. They aren't in the industry. They ended up with it by being friends with the Prison Industries manager.
Meanwhile, we’re being told everything from we will be “taught a lesson” to being “made an example of” for speaking up. Later brushed off as “just having a laugh.”
Before this “opportunity,” we had a functioning wholesale bagged firewood and kindling business. That’s now gone because we were blind-sided.
As late as 2024 and DCS are still promoting their program as "the State's best kept secret". In 2026 they are still using our Brand South Australia brand, something we own and put all our hard work into. To promote their program to stakeholders.
We do not endorse the Department for Correctional Services We’re relieved to no longer be dealing with them despite being financially harmed to the sum of hundreds of thousands of dollars by doing business with them. It's incredibly disheartening that this issue required years of people responsible for oversight turning a blind-eye to allow for it to get to this point, and that a lot of them were supposed to be trustworthy uniformed officers and government officials.
Despite wanting nothing to do with them and repeated requests, DCS continue to use our Wood Guy brand to promote their program. We thought we were "trusted partners" with these people and had the contracts and emails to back it up. Then one day they decided they like our business venture so much, that we do not need to be a part of it.
A decade of work, reduced to this. Hundreds of thousands of our dollars wasted, hundreds of thousands or more likely millions of dollars of tax-payer money has been wasted because a department isn't accountable, and "sorry" isn't in their vocabulary; but I've heard "quiet settlement" more than a few times. I will take all the quiet settlements they can make until they have reached the fair settlement I asked for, I didn't sign to be quiet and the ACCC says another business can't decide what we tell the public about our own business. I believe the ACCC over a group of people who have continuously lied to us and financially exploited us.
We continue to do successful business with various other departments, due to the fact that they did not, and would not rob us. Don't be scum-bags, it's so easy, that most people don't need to be told!
Prison Industries is a literal scam starting from a cold-call. A telemarketing scammer will tell you anything they think they can get away with to get access to your resources. Unlike a telemarketing scammer, these people are backed by our government. I am not anti-government at all, but I am anti-scam. This was a scam.
Go to their website and read about everything they do for small businesses, and how they are good corporate citizens.
Thanks so much for the Department for Correctional Services for "opening doors for our small family business", so grateful to "have these oppportunities given to us.".
Thank you everyone else for their patience and genuine support. We are no longer selling wholesale bagged firewood and bagged kindling.
Sincerely, Bill Jackson Office admin Jacksons Supplies
Farm Fresh Market - Murray Bridge thanks for supporting our business and staying in the corner of small family businesses.
With Scalzi Produce written on the barcodes, Farm Fresh Market - Murray Bridge and Scalzi Produce are leading the way in how small family businesses treat each other in South Australia.
and the head of the internal reviews team of Department for Correctional Services said "they were only trying to establish territories", when referring to his own team in Murray Bridge, SA.
Enjoy your territories big guys. Like it was made clear on the phone, we HAVE to stay out of the produce, supermarket and fuel sector, we HAVE to stay out of Murray Bridge, Littlehampton and Pooraka. You've claimed it. Nobody is coming into it. and most importantly, I hope it was worth it.
The Department for Correctional Services removed their tag.
Their page is www.facebook.com/CorrectionalServicesSA .
The program is called Prison Industries and it's a scam.
The SA Government are running a "Save Bedford Group" campaign in 2025-2026.
In 2022 they were trying to install Jacksons Supplies as a supplier of pine timber to Mount Gambier, so G4S and the SA Government can "take out the competition" and "expand their territory" in the "timber game".
Peter Malinauskas, Emily Bourke - Labor MLC, Rhiannon Pearce MP, Michael Brown MP, Member for Florey, have had several years to become partners in understanding and fix their errors.
They've turned a convenient blind eye.
We're not equal. They will always come first.

Since then:
- The program has fallen apart a dozen times.
- Over $50,000 worth of product sent off the books, we've only recovered $23,000 which we had to do privately.
- More than $15,000 refunded to our customers after moldy, rain damaged kindling was supplied direct from the Prison to our customers.
- Accounts dont add up because they kept changing the prices and have changed the price retroactively several times.
- Copying and pasting our contract to someone else and hiding it from us for as long as possible, including lying to maintain the deception for several months.
- Tens of thousands of goods overproduced and told we have to take them, and exploited us into taking them.
Over $50,000 worth of bags thrown out by the prison because we refused to take them back.
- Been told that there are "territories" and we have to stay out of certain ones like Murray Bridge, Litthampton & Pooraka as well as the entire fresh produce/super-market & grocery industry.

Got an email from a “customer” in the UAE asking me to open a .zip file to get paid…
Yeah, no thanks 🙄
❌ Don’t open it.
❌ Don’t download it.
✔️ Delete & block.
No real customer makes you open files to receive payment.
