Call me extremist however after reading this report I believe there is a relationship between us buying Australian products at the supermarket and the decline in our society, increased homelessness, drug use, family breakdown, suicide, etc.
I don't think you're an extremist at all.
I've always believed the rise of the welfare class and the increase in social problems correlated with the decline of manufacturing.
I do worry a lot about the future of this country. I can only see unemployment rising as more industries offshore.
I know we live in a global, capitalist society but it's hard seeing your neighbours lose their jobs.
My husband's company is currently offshoring. My husband's job is safe, but it's not nice seeing most of his friends lose their jobs
