Buy Australian, while we can

I am becoming increasingly upset by the disappearance of Australian owned and made products from the shelves of our large supermarkets.

You find a product you like which is not only made in Australia, but (hooray! hooray!) is also manufactured by an Australian company.

You return to the store to purchase this same item when needed and you cannot find it, despite searching the shelves.

Alas it has disappeared, never to return.

I find this not only disappointing and frustrating, but very disturbing watching the demise of our Aussie manufacturers.

When will those responsible for ordering the products to stock the shelves of our supermarkets get it?

Many people want to support our Australian industries and buy not only Australian made, but from Australian owned manufacturers.

I applaud Dick Smith in his fight to save Australian farmers and manufacturers against the take-over by foreign imports.

So, let's support our Aussie battlers and buy Australian where we can.

Every little bit helps.
