Don't believe the "blame China" article spin, that's a bankrupt owner fishing for grants. And given what a small % of the cost labour is, its not Australian workers needing to cover rent either.
As recently as the 1950s, #Australia was the lowest-cost aluminium and steel manufacturer in the world, and manufactured our own polymer resins, too. Medium-tech everything was done here.
But at some point our Right decided every industry should be an "accredited" corporate monopoly, and the Left decided every industry should become a paperwork-mummy full of useless but expensive special workers.
Now in the "index of economic complexity" we rank between Uganda and Burkina Faso. And none of our major parties have an interest in getting government out of the economy.
