I absolutely agree with the point that us the customer need to make the choice as to whether we buy Australian or imports, I am in business and the amount of Aussie manufacturers that are going offshore with production is huge as they try to compete with the likes of bunnings and masters and the customers wanting to pay the least they can, it shits me to tears that you price a product at a fair price so you can make enough to pay the bills but the consumer knowing you are already cheaply priced still try to beat you down. If this keeps up we will have nothing Aussie made and the future generations will have a third world economy to contend with!

Holden are a bunch of dicks who try to hold suppliers to prices set years ago and do not allow for any costing rises or inflation so then the local supplier is supplying components to Holden for little or no profit..
If the supplier tries to negotiate new contracts Holden threaten to go elsewhere..(overseas).
As for banning Tigerz and am not sure it is truly to right thing to do?? I personally cant stand the monopoly that EMG have created but people can work out for themselves whats right for them.
That last 4x4 show I went to was rubbish with no bargains to be had at all...... when I go to a gun show there is always some ripper specials to be had.
It's insane! I went to The Good Guys to buy a toaster.....was listed at 40 bucks, looked the goods, in the right price bracket, picked one up and was bowled over by a sales dude who reckoned he could do better......on a toaster? So he did to for $30......WTF? Since when should I need to barter for a toaster....
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

GM Holden will announce sizeable price reductions of between $2500 and $9800 for its upgraded VF Commodore line-up on Friday (May 10).
The aggressive new pricing structure was revealed to Holden dealers last week and motoring.com.au sources have confirmed buyers of sports and luxury models will be the biggest beneficiaries when the vital new VF is officially released on June 1.

Interesting read I don't think they should be banned we are all entitled to free trade and speech here. If people want to buy a product based solely on price let them do it. If they buy based on research price and product reviews they are entitled to still buy the banned product but they won't as the research would say not too. I'm here in the lounge I see everything I have in imported, tv iPad computer fridge light bulbs outside my motor bike hell even my patrol all made and or designed overseas so why the argument of buying imported gear? We all buy what we think is the best product forte price. I buy way I think is best value and if I can't afford it I buy 2nd hand as all the 4wd camping gear is overpriced.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.
