G'day all
Yes, a great story there Mod BB
I remain disappointed with many lawnmower dealers in Australia.
And we don't get those 'Buy Australian' ads anymore.
When I first researched the Scott Bonnar company company I noted
that, from the earliest days, Scott and Mick Bonnar were staunchly patriotic.
Their print ads would appeal to buying Australian made - and their decals,
for many years, depicted the Australian flag.
Today, so much has changed.
I have two principles that guide me in purchases:
- Buy local and support small business;
- Buy Australian, if quality is comparable.
The conflict is when the former do not support the latter:
that is, when Australian businesses, who want you to buy local,
do not themselves support Australian-made products ...
of comparable quality to imported ones.
I feel this story has a happy ending for, at least, a couple of folks.
