Our minimum wage per hour is seen as a good wage per day in some parts of China.
Now, when this is all over we are going to be even more broke than we have ever been before, individually and as a nation.
Who will we turn to to get back on our feet at the lowest possible price?
Same people who put us there in the first place.
Almost every 'buy Aussie' campaign has ended in economic failure - ask Dick Smith.

Completely agree, had some spats this morning with people over pricing wanting stuff for Chinese prices.
It's reality check time for Australia but I think we're too daft to get the message over globalisation maybe hasn't really worked in our favor.
Americans over the counter are another one who are expecting to pay US prices in Australia, sorry but we don't have illegal Mexicans doing the heavy lifting here in Australia.
Anyway I have more on this topic but alas I'm about to depart our lunch room as someone is slurping, eating with their mouth open and sucking air in rather loudly, I'm exiting before I make them turn blue and stop breathing
