It's up to the government. Our fruit, food, car and just about all industry is dying.
We import too much "rubbish" and we don't need too. It's like importing eggs to a chicken farm.

You don't have to subsidise something to compete "if" you tax the arse off unnecessary imports. Note: I said "unnecessary". We don't need 22 different eco small cars. Nobody needs that much choice!

As I see it the priorities are all wrong and it's the government that is mainly to blame allowing these cheap nasty imports on to our shore.
It all comes down to governments wanting to play on the world stage.
