The goods that come from cheaper countries, our gov,t should have a bigger GST or foreign goods tax on, to even up the competition. Is that the same as protectionism. Free trade should not be wound back, but the field has to be level.

Does anyone feel guilty about buying goods made overseas by workers who get paid a pittance? What justification is there for them not getting the same wages as we do in Australia? Not to mention working conditions/safety etc. Should we boycott goods made in countries who treat their workers like dirt? Or should we introduce such policies of low wages here to make us more competitive?
