There's nothing of the former scale really to defend any more in terms of Australian industry in the auto sector, so all importers on an equal footing. Have at it. Maybe question if the country the importer is from is blocking trade with Australia for any items/disregarding signed FTAs - breaking rules etc etc.

I've noticed Aussies will go the cheapest option, almost every time. You know that smirk when you get that dead-set rippa bargain? Political stances evaporate compared to the savings that you just made on that deal where you practically stole it from the other bloke. Low ball the offer and it's so sweet. Look at that goose who just paid full price. Brother in law got a cabin cruiser for an absolute steal, yeah, it foundered at its mooring, but it was the deal of a lifetime... etc etc

I deal with that all the time at work, everyone wants something for nothing, try working in manufacturing that makes things in Melbourne

Regardless of how low volume or how quick you can turn it around, can get it on ebay for less.

Well buy it from ebay then?

My favorite one was someone who come to us who bought a couple thousand widgets from China, and they made it wrong, but then wouldn't fix it and they had to order a few thousand of the right ones. They then come to me expecting Australian service at Chinese prices - GAGF.
