WAKE UP CONSUMERS!!
If every Australian changed from buying foreign owned to Australian owned we would save $46.8 billion. 18 million Australians at $50 per week = $46.8 billion. For example, if you buy a bottle of Perrier mineral water at least 85% of the cost will end up overseas, with a small amount staying for the Australian labour required to get the product to the cash register.
The accepted figure used by the Government sponsored ISO offices is that for every $1 million of orders placed in Australia, 30 full time jobs are created, this rate is conservative. Example, if an engineering business in a town gets a contract for $1 million of work then much of the wages paid to the staff will be spent in the town, thus creating other jobs. This is called the multiplier effect .
Using the conservative rate of $1 million of Australian purchases creates 30 full time jobs, then $1 billion creates 30,000 full time jobs. The money saved of $28 billion at 30,000 jobs per $1 billion means we create 840,000 new full-time jobs, but let’s say conservatively 500,000.
So if every Australian redirected just $50 per week from foreign owned and made to Australian owned and made we would save at least $20 billion a year on our current account deficit and create at least 500,000 new full time jobs

HEADLINES
Over the last ten years all Governments have funded growth and employment by selling off the country. Clearly the only foreign investment that should be allowed is that which is in Australia’s national interest. Australia has amongst the largest per household foreign debt in the western world.
Australian commerce is in serious trouble. This is an inevitable situation for any person, company or country, which continually spends more than they earn. For over 25 years Australia has earned less than it has spent in relation to the rest of the world. The balancing item for Australia’s increasing debt is more and more foreign ownership of our key industries. If we don’t fix our trading losses, we can’t stop foreign owned companies from buying our best resources.
As over 80% of our trading losses relate to interest, dividends, etc; ownership does matter. It is only when Australians en masse change their spending habits, that our bureaucrats and politicians will follow our lead. Thus, we can only secure jobs for our kids by firstly changing our own purchasing attitudes and behaviour.
Australian owned companies need our support, simply because if we as Australian’s don’t support them nobody else will.

State & Federal governments over the last 20 years have sold assets to foreign companies with little regard for the long term implications, and consumers are being sucked in by powerful PR machines.
