[threedogs]

Also just designed a new 20mm thick point but sadly not for a Patrol its a horse of a unit.
The Y62 is causing problems too being IFS, there are foue spare captive nuts
under the radiator support panel but they are only 10mm, could use all 4 and have a central
point to tow, will have to see, Maybe Kev could suss that part out for me, not many Y62s down this way

[mudski]

I think Kev is onto something here. Not just 4by products, but everything. Food, clothes anything....

exactly mark your a 100% correct I started this as someone mentioned it and I am pissed at the moment, as I was unable to attend my nieces birthday last weekend due to my health issues and the fact she had been exposed to them chinese berries and at the same time if everyone would get on this there would be more employment in this country as well. kev

My Darche I have is the original, Aussie made one. Got it direct from their factory about 15 years ago....

That's not good to hear mate. Hope everything turns out good for you. We try to buy aussie made where we can afford it when it comes particularly to food.

These guys will make them one day...
http://redback4x4.com/spare-wheel-bags.html

I've herd there's just a finger in the way stopping production that may get pulled out one day

[threedogs]

why would you eat berries ever again knowing how they are processed, yukky poo poo water.
Mick Catter had the right idea on labeling, saying along the lines of,
"these berries were processed using a method which would not pass Australian STD.
eating them may cause ill health"

[Stropp]

yes its a shame but lets be clear here, its companies like bunnings, masters, and tigers that get all this cheap chinese shit into oz that are forcing aussie companies to go offshore with production and its driven by consumers, yes we are our own worst enemies!! i have seen some good wood heater manufactures get their product out of china now due to cheaper shit from china taking over 50% of the market.. thankfully coonara, jarrahdale and nectre still have aussie made heaters and will keep making them here.
This is a great thread btw keep up the good work.

Well said Stropp.

[taslucas]

Yep, exactly right Stropp. We need to vote with our wallets. I quite often tell people that whine about the lack if jobs in Tasmania that if everyone in tassie bought only tassie stuff then we'd all be gainfully employed and the state would be booming. Same goes for Australia as a whole.

[taslucas]

Buy local ffs.

Our local milk bar closed down late last year after over 100 years operating. Unfortunately too many people preferred to buy their stuff cheaper at the supermarket half an hour away.

We are our worst enemy mate. If we could change the mentalety of some people or just educate them a bit more we could sustain local business!!!!

It's not just imports that can be of concern. The deaths allegedly from "Jindi cheese" springs to mind.

I fail to see how labelling will change anything. Consumers want items that are convenient, cheap and I doubt most people would even take the time to read the labels.

Maybe if the mad hatter and his cronies put more effort into legislation regarding food standards and the enforcement of this legislation, instead of playing it up for the media.

We might just have a safer food supply, of course this would also increase the cost to our food supply.

[threedogs]

lets talk oranges , farmers here on the Riverina are ploughing in their trees , cause supermarkets and others can get cheaper oranges from OS.
tasted a tomatoe, flowery, some as banannas Good thing my beloved AVO's are still aussie made
I think SPC just closed again for the second time ,Big Fletch would know more on that

[Maxhead]

The farking government letting in all the cheap imports just shits me to death...Don't get me started on selling out good land to overses companies...FARK!!!!!

Farrrrk! How many A.V.O's have you had John!?

[mudnut]

There are mobs geared up here solely for the purpose of flogging off our land and houses to offshore entities. If we don't stop it we will all be rent-paying tenants in our own country.

Mrs mudsane makes every effort to buy local produce, and it has cost us heaps over the years.

Labeling of food as Aussie made sometimes can be misleading, seeing that some products only get a bit of Aussie water and/or sugar and salt mixed with it. I learned yesterday that foreign pork only has to get made into bacon here to be labelled as Australian.

Yeah there was a Local milk bar in Doreen not far from here that had been there since cocky was an egg. Then the big new housing estates started to arrive, next Coles opens up and forces them to shut down. Damn shame....

The same has happened in Whittlesea. Not long after macdonalds moved int the local fish and chip shop shut and a few others have followed suit as well.

The thing is that if more ppl bought Aussie made the richer out country would become and eventually the prices would start going back down.

We try and buy Aussie made but not much really is anymore.

Coopers Beer is 100% aussie

Yeah, but it helps if it is a product people actually want to buy rather than just find as the only thing left in the frig after a raging BYO party when someone even drank the vinegar after the real beer ran out

Yep Auspit is 100% Australian. Another great product.

[taslucas]

I was kind if meaning try to find big brands that are sold nationwide and aussie made. For example, it's pretty easy to figure out the little guy making bars out of his garage is aussie made.

Well, not quite, but the meaning of 'Made in Australia' has been diluted to buggery over the years

Aussie Porta Spit
Made in Moana SA by a mate of mine and sold through some camping stores.
Unfortunately there are lots of cheap copies that are killing his buisness.

Yep, and there are about four different versions of the little green triangle logo that all mean slightly different things. There was a great segment about it on that show called The Checkout.

[threedogs]

I pretty sure you need to prove your products are organic and are very strict.
The heart tick is a $50k donation to the fondation I think.
Years a go it was a little aussie flag, now it a green and gold kangaroo logo
in the shape of a triangle

[taslucas]

As I said, there are a few variations of the triangle logo, all meaning slightly different things.. Made in Australia, product of Australia, etc. But none of them have anything to do with being organic. That is another label all together and yes they're very strict as they should be

All you need for "Australian Made" Kanga Logo is 50% of the cost of production to have been incurred in Australia.
A good accountant, deft use of a ledger and assembly costs can probably spin that to say 20% of retail.
If it takes 10 men 100 hours at a cost of $500 in China to make a flat pack of box trailer parts and 2 men 2 hours to assemble the parts here in Oz at a cost of $600 then the product is Aussie Made.

All you need for the Heart Tick is a one off licence fee determined on the cost recovery for the testing of your product.
The Heart Foundation is a Charity that raises it's funds on donations which is seperate to the 'self funded' Tick program.
Getting a Tick for your product by giving a donation would be illegal.

Mudgee as in the town in Central NSW? I live 30mins from there, in fact I am heading in there tomorrow.

Hey there's one Mudgee Wines, grapes are grown in Mudgee and processed and turned into wine.

Now lets whine about the government and overseas companies again. haha.

I forgot the fact that my penny fox whistles are 100% Australian made. Only outsourced product would be the equipment I use to fabricate them. Guaranteed half of it us made in Asia.
