Sensorship by Facebook?
Why is it that the use of our facebook has been blocked for 30 days without warning - as a not for profit organisation representing Australian owned businesses exclusively and coming into the Christmas period we locked out of access to facebook for 30 days. The many people who follow up will receive messages from many sources but not from Australian owned companies who need Australian consumers to support them. So please if you receive this Blog help us spread the word - www.ausbuy.com.au

Cheapie imports force farmers to walk away | thetelegraph.com.au
Cheapie imports force farmers to walk away | thetelegraph.com.au
The reason why farmers are being forced off their land are many including: decades of policies which have allowed control of all but one major food commodity to be controlled beyond the farm gate by foreign owned companies, policies based falsely on the fact that we export most of our food, most of our export markets are controlled now by foreign interests, our labelling laws do not tell us the country of origin of our foods and now we are happy to sell our land to foreign countries and companies to grow food for their population but not for our own people to get the advantage, we sign Free Trade Agreements with countries that fund their farmers because they recognise the importance of Food Security to a country, these countries do not reciprocate the opportunity of free access, do not meet the same growing standards required of our farmers and we under resource our gatekeepers AQIS and Bio Security Australia so they take the science of foreign companies as proof of quality including GM foods which could mean four global countries supply the seed supply to the world. No other developed countries have squandered their sustainable. If you want to support Australian farmers buy the AUSBUY Guide and iPhone App, Check out www.ausbuy.com.au and click on the Time to Wake Up Australia banner and have your say. Turn outrage in action when you shop. AUSBUY has been warning consumers since 1991 - perhaps the message is getting through.

Fair Trade Versus Free Trade
What about Fair Trade rather than Free Trade Prime Minister? Fair Trade is when importers compete on the same playing field as our producers and businesses. This means the same interest rates; currencies at parity; no government subsidies; strict anti-dumping rules; same corporate tax rates; same growing conditions and quality control standards required of our producers and manufacturers; labelling laws show where products really come from; same wage rates and conditions as our workers; import controls on diseases that can destroy our capacity to feed ourselves; Government Procurement prioritises local business and jobs. Free Trade is when it is not a level playing field on any of the above and we export jobs, and sell our wealth creating assets to foreign interests who do not pay the same taxes as our companies, send profits off shore before tax, and make decisions overseas about what happens here. Implement Fair Trade Prime Minister and Australian owned businesses wanting to create jobs and reinvest assets here will do what they have always done. They will “have a go”. Give us a Fair Go.
In response the Australian’s page 1 12/4/2011 PM commits to free trade path.
