GREG'S LEGACY

A challenge … How many Australian made items can you find in your home?

John Smith started the day early having set his (JAPANESE) alarm clock for 6 am. While his coffeepot (from CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his Electric razor (made in HONG KONG). He put on a (SRI LANKAN made) dress shirt, designer jeans (from SINGAPORE) and Tennis shoes (made in KOREA).

After cooking his breakfast in his new (INDIAN made) electric skillet, he sat down with his Calculator (made in MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his Watch (made in TAIWAN) to the radio (made in INDIA), He got in his (EUROPEAN) car, filled it with GAS (from SAUDI ARABIA) and continued his search for a good paying (AUSTRALIAN) job.

At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his computer (made in MALAYSIA), John decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (made in BRAZIL), poured himself a glass of (FRENCH) wine and turned on his (ASIAN made) TV and then wondered why he can’t find a good paying job (in AUSTRALIA).

He is now hoping he can get some help from the government who are going to create even more jobs overseas with a carbon tax designed to destroy ever more Australian jobs because it is in the natural interest according to our Prime Minister (who was made in WALES).
