I talk it up when overseas rather than berate it.
I train and employ Australians rather than import fully trained people.
I spend most of my money here and will buy Australian produce before imported when available.
I am a bit worried that the old Australian adage of "looking after your mates" has been replaced by the "stuff everyone else it is all about me" mentality that appears so often on television.
Yes are goods are more expensive than other parts of the world but our wages are also higher, our conditions better, our hospitals and ambulances are basically free and we support more bludgers per head of population than anywhere else on the planet.

Its going to happen eventually, until the Chinese stand up and want a western lifestyle, its inevitable.
In todays society, the whole "looking after your mates" doesn't exist anymore. I say you do whats best for the most important person in your life and thats you.
