figgy Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I watched a short documentary on how Australia is the only country to have constant economic growth for so long. Only trouble it's linked to china. Now might be a good time for them to start and break free. China have a hold on them, be interesting to see if Oz bends a knee or bloodies their noses.

DoolinDalton Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Apparently, Australia doesn't produce its own toilet rolls....they're imported from....yeh....CHINA! So if Australia gives China the elbow, the Aussies really will be in the brown stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumber Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I was surprised by how much land and water they've bought up and the deals done on beef. They've been going about buying into different countries around the world for quite some time, nice and quietly. Africa springs to mind. Like you say, it'll be interesting to see how the Aussies go. Could be a turning point for the rest who are in a similar position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue being that paper products like this are so commoditised and cheap that to get the prices the buyers want, you need to be buying from countries with cheap labour. Same as Moulded Pulp products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
