The aussie dollar against the US

[mik]

i used to cart freight off the wharves some years ago, and to me it was obvious we are drowning in imports and have been for decades,
it`s an absolute travesty that we actually import stuff like (fresh )fruit and vegetables(often inferior) from over sea`s rather than buy it from our own farmers , as for the other stuff you can`t get because it`s not manufactured in Australia, as things stand with the flood of cheap imports you never will,

because with a country that has a high cost of living with a large population of people on the lower wage they will usually buy the cheaper stuff.....quite often the imports.
