Petition—shopping aisles for Australian made
Apr 30th, 2020 at 7:45am
 
There’s over 15,000 signatures already, so please support this for supermarkets to have shopping aisles for Australian priducts only.
This makes it easier to know what is actually Australian made.  👍

They could at least explain why I should attempt to restrict buying to Australian made items. Until they can show a plausible reason I won't be participating.

Yes, true that. It's called comparative advantage.

I would have thought the plausible explanation was obvious?

We are too reliant on Chinese products.

I believe the petition is about making Australian products available in certain aisles not about banning all imported products.

That's called being able to make a choice.

And  there is a lot of deceptive labeling on products as to real origin or country of manufacture.

i.e. the Kiwis buying in Chinese vegetables & repackaging as a product of NZ & the exporting it here.

Don't think so. We export $58 billion more to China than they export to us. You have things arse a peaky.

Indeed.

So, should China follow our lead and buy only Chinese made?

I mean, if it's good for us then surely it's good for every other country too.

So what. We have a comparative advantage in food and minerals and China has a comparative advantage in manufactured items. What's the big deal.

You should acquaint yourself with opportunity cost and comparative advantage. David Ricardo had this all worked out two centuries ago.

I'm totally cool with buying anything from anywhere in the world  when there is no competitive aussie option. Economies of scale etc make sense for production.

Food how ever for me is 99% (aprox) local only. I'll make exceptions for a few specialty items.

An Aussie made isle is a great idea not so people can ONLY buy Australian but to help with that choice.
