A "level playing field" and a "fair go" - that's what we want. Australian manufacturers are currently being discriminated against i.e. we have to adhere to domestic requirements such as being recognised as an "Ethical Manufacurer". I do not disagree with such a requirement but I vehemenly disagree where offshore suppliers are not required to run their business ethically. How is that fair? It is discrimination by definition. There are many other considerations, one could go on...

Government should support and lead by example so more Australians think "buy Australian" every time they are buying products... If we stop buying our own products we can't complain when our manufacturing goes off shore!

If you want to save a few bucks, instead of jeopardising our local industry, why don't you get rid of all the chaffeured cars sitting at parliament each day doing nothing and catch a taxi like the rest of us. This alone would save 10's of 1000's f dollars each year which could be put towards giving Australians job dressing Australian workers!!!

China is greedy. We have taught them enough skills they can look after their own and we will look after our people. Australia can get quality manufacturing and jobs back that are falsely recorded by the govt to mislead you. fyi Whitlam did this to us in his treaty with China in 75. Get out of the corrupt UN.

Short sighted cost saving measures have detrimental effects on wellbeing of Australian society. Unbelievable to think that State/Federal organisations are actively encouraging money go offshore. Should promote contracts to support employment and encourage development of the industry through funding for R & D.

If all Government agencies bought Australian made apparel, then there would be significant flow on benefits to the Australian economy. Government Agencies need to recognise that Australian companies have costs that are forced on to them by Government legislation. Those costs should be spearated out when assessing value for money comparison with imported products.

"Level Playing Field" should take into account others unfair/unethical advantages. Quality/performance should be a factor in decision making. If it doesn't do the job it doesn't save money - for example, see the S.A. Ambulance Service uniform disaster which first started in 2007 and continued to cost health and money for some years.

The more we support locally owned businesses and our owned jobs and skills the more the decisions will be made here about our future - reinvestment will occur and we might see some real productive jobs here rather than handing money around and seeing jobs go off shore.

The Govervnment spends $B of tax payers money or borrowed money on contracts of which the majority go to foreign owned companies and are made off shore. Government employee uniforms include the defence forces, fire services. police etc - bring the jobs back home to give impetus to local semi skilled jobs other than mining in our 5 speed economy - if you are a small to medium sized business here you are left for dead - give them a go and a fair go - this should be applied in every sector.
