We should have thought about "Saving the countries industries and jobs" decades ago,when we were flooded with $2 shops, cheap imported throw away limited shelf life rubbish ....
But we didn't , and we all bought it up like it was gold ....
The country is just about dead in the water as an industrial based country,we have no one to blame but ourselves ....
We are all accountable some way or another
Buying aussie made to save the country,i dunno wether people are having a go saying that or they think their one big purchase,or less that 10 % of their daily life is aussie made is gunna make a huge difference

You obviously don't keep an eye on the news or paper..
About a month ago, there was an Australian owned manufacturing company that went into voluntary administration (Can't remember the company name)....The media mentioned it, now that company has put on an extra shift to cope with demand for it's product....Admittly, it's still in voluntary administration, but had an extension of time to sort it's financial situation out. By all reports this particular company will continue trading out of financial trouble
I accept not everyone can afford to buy a new car, but having the attitude you display will help destroy the manufacturing industry for good...
