Watching TV this evening noticed an ad for Woolworths SELECT jam touting that it's "Made in Australia".

 

They didn't say what of though, or from where the ingredients had been sourced.  Bet your bottom dollar it would be "made in Australia with local AND IMPORTED products".

 

It is getting more and more difficult to find Aus. goods now -  Select has taken over.  I won't buy it on principle.

Their should be a total trade embargo on the vicious China communists until they cease their despicable policies of forced abortion and other aggressive human population control measures, and permit religious freedom. Not one red cent to the dangerous commie Chinese baby-killers!

The Chinese tactic of adding melamine to milk to artificially inflate protein counts was only the tip of the iceberg. The Chinese communists are dangerous sickos whose products (including food products) should not be trusted. The first link provides details of a "fetal soup" served in some restaurants over there. The second link provides some graphic footage of the results of forced abortion, still widely mandated throughout China. Please note that these links are NOT for the faint of the heart, and are only provided to help make you think twice before buying potentially suspect food from commie killers...

B'H

Which they have been  doing for years. That is why I do not buy imported fruits or vegies and search high and low for Aussie stuff which is BETTER quality I might add. Rather eat less and healthy than chemical imports odf inferior quality.

May I suggest if you have an Android Smartphone of one of those God Awfull IPhone thing's download a Barcode scanning software package then you can scan the Barcodes on the packaging and it will tell you exactly where it comes from even if the Labeling doesn't.

 

As for China and their labor Green Stooges out here definately boycott anything from there as it is all substandard garbage and in many cases toxic.

The Chinese practice of destroying local opposition happens worldwide,In Italy they dumped womens Brassiers on the Italian market at a price of 50 Cents a dozen a few years back destroying much of the manufacturing base ,Even in places such as Mexico you will hear the phrase from manufacturers,farmers and Retailers "Bloody Chinese",There is a book by an Ancient Chinese Philosopher "The Art of War" by Tsung Tszu and by war they actually include Economic warfare,It is Economic War that we are facing and we need to fight back.

Target Coalition members and make them accountable,Labor are a waste of time and gone anyhow,Force State Governments to instigate stringent safety and Quality standards that will  stop the chinese dead in their tracks as they do not know the  meaning of the word.

In Woolworths yesterday,  did my whole shop without buying one item of their brand.  I did notice however,  that the brand names seem to increase in price almost from week to week,  and I'll bet it's not those manufacturing companies putting up the prices.

So be prepared to pay a bit extra to support our local produce.  What a shame we're not more patriotic (ie prepared to really support our own) but who wants to pay 3x the price for something, when we can get an equivalent (eg homebrand) for half the price.

But yes, the Chinese rubbish drives me mad.   And I don't/won't eat stuff from Thailand.

How can we trust the AusBuy and how often are they updating their booklets?

That "equivalent homebrand" is exactly what you don't want,  it is full of "imported" goods. 

 

If we don't support our own growers and producers we all be forced in to eating foreign grown foods, from China, Thailand, Africa, etc. it's as simple as that.
