SPC is in trouble because they can't compete with dumped foreign products. We are supposed to have a watchdog or someone who monitors dumping because it's illegal - but this problem is being totally ignored.

Governments don't care.

If we buy SPC over the cheaper products - it will help the company and its contractors stay afloat. Unfortunately most people opt for the cheaper product. So much for FTA's.

Like most politicians - he puts his family, friends and church before the rest of us.

He is closing the Charity Watchdog down because the Catholic Church has made too many complaints. There will be no-one to complain to about corruption. It's best not to give to charities at all now. Good work Abbott.

Quote:

The Abbott government's decision to scrap the national charities watchdog will remove crucial oversight and could affect public confidence in the system, the public sector union says.

Social Service Minister Kevin Andrews confirmed this week he would move to abolish the Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission, just as the agency released its first full-year results showing dozens of allegations of fraud and corruption in the nation's charities. Up to 100 public service jobs look set to be lost.

Mr Andrews said the commission, which has been bitterly opposed by Catholic charities, would be replaced by a more voluntary approach to regulation

There would also be a move to restore the role of the Australian Taxation Office, which previously regulated much of the sector.

After a marathon or long distance cycle a tin of SPC baked beans with lashings of bacon and eggs is like heaven.
We grow the best navy beans in this country but thanks to Tony Abbott we are going to lose another industry.

Abbott has nothing to do with it, and even you should be able to realise that if you take your blinkers off.
SPC cant compete with the imports, and SPC spent a motza buying up Ardmona some years back.
This has absolutely nothing to do with a government who has only been in office a short time.
SPC has priced themselves out of the market, and your average Australian shopping in Coles / Woolies will take a cheaper price over Australian ownership considerations any day of the week and there is nothing any government can do to change that.

Ask yourself..

If you were to put money into shares on Australian companies would you put it into bad companies losing money?

NO... no you wouldn't...

You'd find profitable well run companies and invest your money there...

The Australian government handles tax payers money and we expect them to make wise decisions in how they invest our money....

The decision by the Abbott liberal government not to throw away hard earned tax payers money into poorly run unprofitable companies with greedy workers and thug unions is the right decision...

100% right...

Abbott degree in economics is paying off Wink

It makes a difference having educated and qualified personnel in your political party... Labor should try it some time..

The bigger picture is whether anyone is concerned about the demise of Australian food production and manufacturing. Are we to become totally reliant on imported products which aren't subject to the same regulation our growers are?

There might come a day when we don't have the resources to feed ourselves in the event of an overseas disaster which contaminates or blocks supply.
