I don't think you'll find it was the Labor party that brought most of this on, though they could well have done a great deal more about it.... It has been coming for almost 20 years. The real straw that broke the camel's back was the crap deal Howard ended-up with out of his "free trade agreement" with the US almost ten years ago. Ask our exporting farmers who still had to compete against US producers still recieving huge government hand-outs and assistance. The GFC has slowed this, but look at what is happening now with our own foodbowl now being sold off.... This affects everybody who lives here!

Ultimately our high dollar is attractive to overseas manufacturers to flood our markets with their cheap rubbish, but bad news for anyone who exports a value added product of any description from our shores.
