  Is Australian made actually Australian made or is another scam like nearly every other sticker on a product?

  Because some shit designed in Aus, built in China, and packed in Aus is not what I would consider Australian Made.

    The details are here:

    Basically, if it has the Australian Made Australian Grown logo it’s predominantly grown, made, and packaged in Australia.

      Australian Made

      The product has undergone its last substantial transformation in Australia.

      So what’s a substantial transformation, packaging?

        This is a good (readable) guide Avoiding unfair business practices - a guide for businesses and legal practitioners - ACCC

        This is the legislation, COMPETITION AND CONSUMER ACT 2010 a hard read, but as they say in theguide above, theres no substitute for the Act.

        I wanted to go on a big speil and talk about it a bit, but i’ve not had mych time to sit down. Suffice to say i think we have really well reasoned country of origin legislation, and consumer protection generally in this country. Even if its appliaction isn’t always ideal.
