I had to do the shopping the other day.

Welcome to my world.
I've been doing this for over 8 years now(I'm the ugliest house Bitch you will ever lay eyes on :) ), trying to buy Aussie produced/made/grown and it's a struggle if not impossible at times.
Our local Woolworths and Coles have come up with every excuse not to carry this magazine, AUSBUY WHY? Hmmm
What I find disturbing is, a car manufacturer decides to close their doors in a few years time, yet Primary producers, manufactures and  good businesses have been closing their doors for years and the knock on effect from this has had far more reaching implications over a longer term, but this is news worthy because we have an election in a couple of months.
I'll jump off my Soap box,
 :cheers:

So something might be made assembled in Australia.  How much of its content (parts/materials) is Australian made/sourced?

Would depend, if a car is made overseas using Australian iron ore and other products mined in Australia is it  Australian sourced materials I've worked in manufacturing since finishing my studies, 1st company closed Aussie plants and transferred capacity to brazil am now in food manufacturing and at least cant see this moving os for a while, it probably will happen at some stage

I have.
Kitchen fridge, 13 yrs old
Washing machine, same age
Trailblaza, 22 yrs old
A few woodworking machines, not sure of age.

That is the trouble with our kit we make, it lasts, no profit in making it.

It is so hard to buy assie made in the Supermarket for sure, we struggle to find it.

We live with ABC 2 on for the kids, I noticed that even the Aussie kids shows are from Singapore, Bananas in Payjamas, Milly and Molly both good Aussie kid shows with Aussie Voices, but the tricky bits are all done OS.

What have we got left?
Even fruit canneries are closing.
