In the interest of future food security, job security and national security it is imperative to my way of thinking that emphasis should be placed on Australian produce first.
Australians generally want the benefits of our society with our social safety net. In view of this we as a nation should be prepared to pay the price for goods produced in this country.
Australians have increasingly become a nation of people who have confused their "needs" with their "wants". As indicated above we want the social safety net but we are not prepared to pay a fair price for locally produced and manufactured products. Instead we want cheaper imported products and produce.
More is not always best.
Quality over quantity will win in the end.
More people should support "Aussie Farmers" - they provide a terrific service and deliver good quality produce.
The web based supplier "Only Oz" is another way to produce Australian produced and manufactured products.

Our farmers are doing it tough enough with drought, spiralling associated fuel, machinerey and labour costs. In this the Year of the Farmer we as Australians should be stepping up to protect their livelihoods not creating additional barriers for not only their farming futures but also the food bowl of Australians. Lets not erode our food producers of today and tomorrow.

My neighbor has been a ginger farmer for as long as I have been alive (18 years), and throughout that time I have worked on his farm as a part time job. Now, it can't be said that farmers always struggle yet the hard times proved to be very hard let alone the now looming factor of competition from Fijian imports. Don't let Australian farmers suffer on the account of slightly reducing prices on produce. Dont help destroy the future of Australian farming. How can there even be a future when up and coming young prospective farmers see the ripples turn into waves with respect to the strain put onto farmers that cannot cope.
