Call for a return to “Aussie made” as you please, but you’ll be paying for it with higher prices, increases in taxes, and cuts to services.
And the one more thing, has anyone looked at the work conditions of the average factory job in China? You want that to become the standard work conditions in Australia? Be thankful it’s mostly China and Asian nations making our goods.
I'm happy to buy what I can locally and pay a premium. Tassal is a good example; more than double the price of John West et al but it's an Australian product with Australian manufacturing and Australian employment.
My family also boycotted "Bonds" and "Huggies" when the usual greed driven western mentality management sent these brands to China, throwing hundreds of Aussies out of work.

I'm sure that just one family thinking this way makes no difference in the overall scheme of things but I know that I can sleep well at night knowing that I've at least tried!
