Dec2010 CONSIDER AUSTRALIAN-MADE THIS CHRISTMAS
The Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) is asking Queenslanders to give extra thought to buying Australian-made this Christmas, as the strong Australian dollar continues to damage the sector.
The Aussie Dollar is now at parity with the US Dollar so our export sales have fallen – and also consumers are increasingly buying goods from overseas. This leaves local manufacturers taking a hit to not only their export markets, but also their local ones.
When thinking about Christmas shopping, have a look at the locally-manufactured options available and consider purchasing those instead of the foreign alternatives.
There are plenty of fantastic, top-quality Australian-made products available on the market – with the internet making it easier to find them.
Spending your dollars locally will benefit the economy and ensure that more manufacturing companies can keep employing Queenslanders – and that benefits everyone.
