Sunfish: You missed my point and that is that Australian consumers will vote with their feet when something is on offer cheaper elsewhere - look at the store here crying about internet purchasing and then wanting the government to effectively tax imports which would be impracticable.
My point is that Oz companies need to build a strong COMPETITIVE base here if they are to survive. I've also lived in Asia for many years and done business there as well. Doesn't make me an expert however..
My issue is that we do not need to fight amongst ourselves. - Sun Tsu will tell you that the enemy laughs then because you weaken your cause.
