What was left over in the pay-packet each week largely went to paying other Australians, paying rent, buying food, paying for utilities. So of that amount, further portions went to government in company tax, income tax, payroll tax, and non-claimable GST.
You also employed Australians, keeping them off the pension and dole, and those Australians in turn employed other Australians.
You also trained Australians and gave them skills.
As was widely acknowledged at the time, the subsidies given for Australian=Built cars was substantially less than the tax earned in return.
When you buy your Thai special, the government gets the GST, and that's it. ANd the only Australian you've employed is the bloke driving it off the ship.
I would also point out that that the Thai government protects and subsidises its industry up the whazoo!
During Covid the govt has apparently recognised the importance of trying to keep the economy ticking over. Apparently losing your job because the Chinese couldn't keep it in their pants is bad.
But lose your job because tight-***** would rather buy cheap Chinese crap, and that's apparently ok.
I'm just lucky I work in Mining. It's a big country and there's plenty we haven't dug up yet.

We don't want to make anything here in Australia ! don't you know that we are a rich country.
I have been informed this twaddle many a time.
Not to mention that the Greens and Socialist want to make everyone equal, it's not fair that another has more than another
, so welcome to becoming a 2ed world Country as the 3rd world becomes into the 2ed world as well and then we all can become the 3rd world standards under a dictatorship that no one can aspire to get out of poverty regardless.
A new world were everyone becomes equal nothings, how wonderful. everyone down to the level of child molesters or such, just remember everyone is your equal.
oh and their is not enough women representing the Government! oh no ! we are offending the equality gods, and where does all such dribble end.
blacks, whites, reds, yellows, short, tall, fat, young, old
I know that I am not equal to anyone in any way or form and I have never seen or met anyone who was equal to anyone in my whole life and that's a fact.
Hey I was pointing out that I am starting to loose my hair and a mate had no sympathy for me, because he is balled. well !
thou shall not offend the Political Correctness gods, or we will use malic against you.
