    if they could compete, they would still be in business.
    if they sold lots of units, they would still be in business.

    A bit of a contradiction there.

    What do the 1st peoples of this continent say about more invaders coming onto their sacred lands?

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Just a reminder to keep politics out of this please under all circumstances. Just because you don't name a political party, doesn't mean you can bag them out.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    It is getting off the subject but as far as I'm concerned, if someone wants to come to Australia, they must be able to offer this country something.

    These refugees that are coming here now are not doing a thing to better this or any other country and for them, the door should be closed, locked and the key thrown away.

    I, like many Australians, bust my buns, pay loads of tax and get no assistance or incentive from the government, yet these freeloaders come here, don't work, yet they live like royalty thanks to the taxes hard working Australians pay.

    Now back on subject.

    As Australians, we can compete, even with a not so level playing field.

    The trick is to do what ever we are doing, better than anyone else. Chinese or otherwise.

    The RV industry is a perfect example.

    Per capita, we have the largest RV industry in the world and by a long distance over any other country.

    We could and should be exploiting this home town advantage far better than we are, because there are to many camper trailers and caravans coming in, mostly from China.

    Many of the Australian made products are good but they need to be better, so as to make the imported competition look the substandard products that they are.

    This is how we can compete and win, where the playing field is not in our favour!

    So you are happy to let the rest of the Countries in the world (who do care about their Sovereignty) determine what our laws, culture and living conditions are.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    most people care about value.
    i define value as a mixture between price and quality.
    australia generally makes high quality product, for a high price
    china makes goods of varying quality, for a low price.


    low price will just about always beat high price.
