Two comments I submitted on articles on the AdelaideNow website (the online version of the Adelaide Advertiser):
I would love to buy Australian and help people here, but as a computer guy I don't have a choice than to buy from overseas, all the stuff I get is from the US, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and Korea. Even though I'm Aussie I've lived most of my life overseas and I realise the reality that some places are better at producing things than other places, it's Economics 101. Food I proudly buy Australian at the supermarket not just because "it comes from here" but because of it's superior quality.
Perhaps with further local development and investment in education I could one day buy my electronics from Aussie companies too; I certainly believe the entrepreneurial spirit and creativity needed are already here.
