I have just watched a story on A Current Affair, about items made in China purchasable from K-Mart in Australia - at low prices.

The story showed about five seconds of the 2013 Bangladesh factory collapse, where over 1000 people died - despite selling clothing to Australian stores.

The wages of Chinese workers and living conditions was given 'glossy' coverage. Their factory we got to see at least was realistic.

The site we saw looked a lot better than Bangladesh despite: "Kmart does not own any factories and we are unable to arrange visits or guarantee access." K-Mart website. Of course we were all told about the wonderful creative jobs in Australia. K-Mart's junk to eventually go to landfill was ignored.

How can we get people out this K-Mart mindset?

How to get out of this mindset?

Nathan,

To get out of this mindset you need to be prepared to pay much more for similar products made in Aus. Experience has shown that 90% or so of Australians buy on price.

Shadow Minister,
Therein lies the problem, a patriotism governed by our exchange rate.
Selling land to foreigners, It doesn't get any better than that does it !
Aren't you just so proud to be Australian ?

So you still watch A Current Affair! Have you no access to a Library or vegetable patch.?

You've got to get away from this self hatred guilt trip Nathan.

This is how progress happens in every nation, just be thankful you live in a country where it happened before you were born.

England went through it first, with their industrial revolution. Do you wish it hadn't happen, & you were still a surf? It worked it's way through the western world. Going through it first is what made the western word rule.

After the war it went through Japan, then Taiwan, & is now working it's way through the rest of Asia. The Chinese peasants are not flocking to the cities because what they have back in the subsistence village is better you know. If you want to feel sorry for someone, feel sorry for Pacific islanders including New Guinea, who might have to wait a few generations yet.

For god sake, stick a patch on that bleeding heart of yours, & live a happy life.
