Strewth this thread is steamrolling..................
Of course I have to go to bunnings to get some imported merbau to built my soapbox, so I'll just jump right on the "chinese"bandwagon instead...........
My wife is built locally and works just fine!!!
I'm the import and from most of my posts you'll see I'm screwed.................. :'(
:'(
Perhaps this post rings true then?
?
Nah just kidding, but it is interesting to see peoples views on the subject.
Also going back to the original post above, I think most people would agree that budget plays a crucial role in the decision, but perhaps as a lot of posters are implying, we should "try"to buy locally when we can and with the assumption that is is going to be cost effective.
I guess just keep it the back of your mind to buy local if you can.
With the global availability of importing these days you could argue any point.
Jayco are made in
Mexico Victoria (the great land of speewa's and dropbears) but where do they get there parts?
Other view, ok parts may be imported but jobs are local and profit is local.
Economics is a very passionate subject to some............and points of view are very different.
I just reckon we should keep it in our minds and do what we can when we can. Eg. If a comparable product at a comparable price is available, try to take the Aussie one.
Crap............Now I'm rambling, this wagons got too much momentum.
Down to the nitty gritty......
Is 6 B&S made locally? and is it cheaper to get the chinese brand?
SORRY...........
Gotta go get the glamper ready, heading to Barrington tommorrow.
