The thing we can all do to help the Australian economy is buy products made in Australia by Australian owned company’s even if it costs a little more. I have seen advertisements urging us to spend the Federal Government’s recent stimulus payments on overseas holidays?? Why spend the money given to you by our Government to help a foreign economy.
Spend it here use it to buy Australian products and services. Renovations to your home is one good way to spend your stimulus package either by using an Australian owned company or doing it yourself using Australian made materials wherever possible. In fact most materials produced in Australia are cheaper than their foreign counterparts due to less transport costs. If it takes an extra 10 minutes to do you’re shopping to check the labels then so be it your doing that little extra and that little extra may keep an Australian in a job.
Don’t lose your cool if you feel you have security in your employment then keep spending as now interest rates are at a 50 year low your spending power should have improved somewhat now is the time to use it as bargains are everywhere at the moment. Australia is now showing the world why we are the lucky country as compared to most of the European Union and American economies ours is not showing the same magnitude of contractions or job losses. The bottom lines of most of our major company’s bottom lines are doing better than others around the world . Another indicator that has started to appear is that the economy of China is starting to move again that should have a positive effect on our commodities market which will help stabilise mineral prices and help keep mining jobs safe and this sector can help jump start the rest of the economy. But for now let’s all do what we can by buying Australian Made by Australian owned company’s.
