People are genuinely pleased when it is stated “This product is Australian made”. It seems that many Australians are saddened by the decline in the availability of quality Australian made products, so the “Australian Made” statement seems to offers a sense of pride & hope, that perhaps one day, when the gigantic cheap labour forces of Asia, receive wages and working conditions equal to those received by Australian workers, that Australia can once again become a proud manufacturing Nation and not just an importer of ‘cheap’ and often dodgy products.
