It's okay to say buy Australian but finding it is the hard part, supermarkets could help if they wanted by simply putting an Australian flag next to the price tag of Australian products like they had some pride in selling it. Make the choice easy and people might make the sensible one for the country, after all who wants to go through every brand of what they want trying to read where it comes from, I know most manufacturers mark it on the packaging but not all clearly. Foreign aid to countries in crisis are a world obligation I have no objection to but the fact we do it over and over to the same countries with little accountability for what it's used for has to stop as it seems they are taking the extra money for granted and are not using it to build a future where they don't need it, but Australia is in crisis and that money should be channeled into farms here and into projects to secure and store water against future droughts. Only through building prosperity here can we ensure the ability to help other countries in crisis and if they cant see that and demand the money should be biven to them then sorry but fuck em.
Yeah it would be easier if the Australian made and grown was in larger writing.
If your reading this thread, you can buy Australian at the supermarkets.
It aint that fucking hard!
Yes the labels could be clearer, but .......
stuff em, when does a brickie get handouts like them if they have lean times, or a cleaner, or plasterer or coffee shop
Probably because none of the businesses above are vital to living? No food yr a bit fckd.
That’s true and I feel sorry for their livelihoods too. But the other side of the argument cannot be dismissed altogether. Lots of farmers made lots of money during good times. Some invested it well and others not so well. Lots of brand new landcruisers, hiluxes, boats and bikes in lots of towns too.
Bet there are far more tradies in Landcruisers and Hilux etc
Don’t see how that’s relevant as tradies aren’t getting help.
