Nope just simple logic.
You say you would buy an Australian Made product if it was comparable yet ALL industries are forced overseas due to lack of people standing up for our Australian made stuff.

Almost all things listed above could once upon a time be bought as Australian made. That's not too long ago either. All we have done is sat around and like little sheep, go oh well, that will give me choice. Little thought is given to the big picture and the erosion of our ability to look after our own backyard.

BE honest you aren't interested in buying Australian made really. It's almost embarrassing to do so isn't it.

I'll ask another question, would you care if we imported every grocery and food item to this country ? Is there really any need for us to farm our own stuff if we can just import it cheaper and give is greater choice ? I mean where do you stop ? When do you draw the line ?
