australia stuff is not overpriced.once you factor in our 500 plus wages compares to the 2 dollars wages, and all the add ons that go to employ an autralia and we cannot be competitive in price with china.<br /><br />I buy chinese because i am pissed off at our goverment(and it was the HAWKE LABOUR that started it) killed our industry.<br /><br />The only thing i dont do is buy name brands that are made in china and want an aussie price for.<br /><br />I would be enjoying there prices now because in a few years you will be paying JAP prices for their goods, and australia would have lost all those manufacturers and their skilled workforce, and then watch our balance of payments go thru the roof, and we will end up like argentina!<br /><br />thats my 2 cents worth<br /><br />mixo
