Why , when I am buying lovely crispy apples, grown here in Australia, do I put them in a plastic bag made in USA ?? Can't Australia make a plastic bag ??
Lots of things "can't" be made in Australia, not because we lack the skills but because wages and conditions for workers are high - yes, higher even than the USA - which is good for the workers lucky enough to have a job, but bad for the unemployed and the consumers who want to buy locally made (and locally grown). There, that's the first politically informed comment I'm ever likely to make - ever!
