Just like the Dinosaurs....

If we do not adapt we die.

I am an exporter doing it no harder than any other Aussie, if i am not competitive , i cannot expect others to foot the bill!

We blame every politician for our woes, and yet expect the best quality at the cheapest price regardless of were it is manufactured.

I manufacture a product that is 95% Australian made and sourced, and export it world wide, i do net get subsidies nor any assistance from our government and despite fluctuating demands for my product and increasing costs of manufacturing locally i can only keep it viable in Australia for a limited time.

There will be a time that i too will need to source a less expensive manufacturing option,

other wise what are my options ...close shop ?

At least if i stay an Australian company and turn a profit , i will only go out and spend my profits in Australia !

If our cars are not competitive , why subsidize them ?

We need to adapt to our needs wether its producing food or something else !

My 2 cents.
