Comment on Is there an Australian equivalent for boycotting american products ?

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.

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.
