All comes from China or elsewhere and packaged in Australia stating Australian.

Well instead of whining about it change it … o think we are all sick to death of hearing you ear bash each other .. gives us solutions not problems

Using their 1161 coal power plants on 9.5million km2, while we're meant to have none on 8 million km2. 🤔 Treason or fools?

Could you imagine the quality of beef we’d have in our shops if the gov didn’t sell the best supply overseas?? Like it’s not as if Australia really needs much international import when we pretty much have everything we need here to survive! We’d just have the privilege of buying locally grown & manufactured stuff that’s all & it’s always quality!

We will never have big industry in Australia because of energy costs and huge TAXES also l don’t think the average person realise the cost of Work cover and superannuation, this is why a lot of businesses are going under or closing, our government has got to wake up and stop all the unnecessary spending and helping other countries. Look after Australians first .

We have enough intelligent, creative and hard working Australian Men & Women to provide all that we need.. We could be a thriving Country within ourselves, its such a shame many businesses have been crushed or the ones still going have it very very tough... We need a strong PM who will look after us, the people and put us and our Country first.. Giving millions and millions to overseas is a slap in the face to all of us..

I think our last large glass manufacture has shut citing high energy costs haven't they? Isn't our largest brick manufacturer on thin ice too? This means to build all these houses people are promising we are relying on an increasing amount of imported building materials. I don't even think we make tinned cans to put baked beans in do we? We don't make Saline for a medical system, refined salt water. Look around you, your office, house, pantry, car, work site. Our day to day lives are completely dependent on China (and India). We are literally their retail outlet. Back in 2020 I realised one day that the work boots I was wearing, the socks, work jeans, undies, work shirt, ear plugs, welding jacket, gloves, boot spats, safety glasses, the pliers, chalk, chisel in pocket, the steel I was welding, the welding wire, the components I was welding on, the dish I was about to eat lunch from, the microwave I heated it up in, the tinned tomatoes in tge food (that's a fun rabbit hole lol), my fork, the frying pan at home I cooked in last night, tge fridge keeping my food cold, the slippers I had on my feet, the tires on my (Japanese) 4x4 etc.....ALL FROM CHINA and I try to actively buy AUSTRALIAN. My welding helmet and respirator was from Sweden or somewhere but still an import. The wife's car, Korea. Her workbooks, pants etc and the steel she was cutting on tge bandsaw, the paint she was using, the bandsaw blade she broke cos she was rushing, her prescription glasses, our water bottles, her sock overs, the pen she was using.....all imports. Buy Australian....where?

What a joke! Nothing is made in this country any more thanks to the poor decisions of previous governments selling this country down the drane. If this country is to prosper like it once did we need a good strong leader who will make decisions that will enable this country to be economically strong again and stop selling our resources for nix. We are rich in natural resources and should be one of the most prosperous countries in the world. Is it mismanagement or is there another agenda for why this country is in the mess its in?

Good statement Senator Roberts. How can one possibly purchase anything from Australia today when everything is from places like China and Bangladesh.

With Albo sending 27000 small businesses broke there is hardly anything Australian made just walk into any supermarket most shelves are bare

neither Dutton or Albo are good for the Country same shoes different feet. I'm tired of loosing half my pay to tax to work harder to live. Its crazy stupid how we are the worker ants while they laugh and tell us they can't afford to fix roads ect but they can take a pay rise and happy for a golden handshake. Why are tax payers paying for a road to albos mansion? but we can't get the Bruce hwy fixed.. They have gone made with power and money

Come on Malcolm. Give Albo a break. Poor man lacks a backbone. He needs speech therapy, is clueless to the plight of the average Australian and is doing his best to destroy our culture. You have my vote not the Labor circus.

To be fair, that started well before Albo sat in the seat and was supported by both sides of the fence over the years.

We should have the cheapest power in the world. But Albo is a puppet for the WEF and China.

Assembled in Australia is not made in Australia either

Maybe if Australian companies were able to buy the raw product tax free to manufacture at a reasonable cost then we wouldn't have a problem. Australia had a fantastic amount of industry. So many things used to be built here because we do things right and provide good customer service to back up our well made products.. example I have a 50yo mower. Made here in Oz. Still going. Can still get parts for it. Not much Chinese stuff out there that even lasts half that let alone has parts after maybe 10years. We need to make Australian industry better

And all other commodities we give them. Albo now sends our grain and barley priority over Australians

A bit hard when everything the government does kills manufacturing. Green tape, red tape, energy prices etc.

I’ve Always bought what I could get Australian,But you Sold everyPretty of our Australian stuff to China and America Albo.

I'd be more worried about Superanuation funds buying up our utillitiies and Privatising them. Then scamming us with charges for things that we the people previously owned..Ports rail water electricity oil and gas..endless..

Stop selling out manufacturers in Australia then, support them.. Politicians are Australia's biggest problem. Same as fruit and food production.

And unions pushed wages so high it’s not affordable to make anything here too

What a sick comment, everything has been Made in China for 50 years.

Bring back Coal and if people are so hell bent on solar and wind etc there is nothing wrong with both. We need a strong and reliable power grid to bring our industries back here. Sick of looking for Australian made cant find it on the shelves. The supermarkets should be putting our products first but instead they sell shelf space to imported products. Small Aussie businesses cant afford the cost. So many local products have disappeared from our stores.

Let's not rely on foreign fuel and medicines... how about that idea.
