They made some pretty great announcements and had great plans for our country's future;

That promptly got shat on by our pigheaded federal leaders..... :(

We’re still pushing forward.
Steelworks expansion, mining expansion and a large scale Solar farm are underway.

That thing cost $10 million? My kid could have done that for $2.00 - a A4 exercise book and a pencil

A lot of potential but the govt departments will tender and source their gear from overseas because it's 10% cheaper.

I think most people understand that there are products that we need to import. I suspect that the whole "buy Australian" ideal is based on protecting the industries that we already have and own from disappearing or moving offshore, and perhaps keeping the profits on our own shores as much as possible. Not to mention protecting our internal domestic needs from being foreign controlled.
Take milk for example. It's all produced in Australia from Australian cows by Australian workers, but your choice of milk brand will determine if the profits from that milk stay in the Australian economy, or move into the French, Chinese, or Canadian economies. https://guide.ethical.org.au/guide/browse/guide/?type=15

Nothing too new in that. Used to happen all the time when car parts manufacturers went on strike, affecting the whole industry.

I try my hardest to buy local.
I support my local Mitre 10, not the green box.
Bricks & mortar businesses only, if I do purchase off eBay, I will preference an Australia bricks & mortar business.
Whether or not it comes from overseas, I buy from local/Australians.
