Rodney I already answered in post #12.
You've got me started on this topic, so warning: rant starts here...
Australia sold out to the lowest bidder a long time ago, and it gets worse every day. We have almost no industry left and no chance of restarting any. We sell our land and real estate to them as well. It screws our future but as long as a small number of people are making a huge amount of short term money it will continue until there's nothing left for anyone.
Calling what they make "goods" seems ironic.
People buy cheap Chinese made things, feel disappointed with the very low quality, then buy another expecting it to be much better!
