What ever happened to this? i know the obvious answer, pushing stuff overseas because its cheaper, but i remember a while back there was a real push to back NZ manufacturers. It was a big a drive as recycling was. Its just sad not to see a more active effort to back kiwi made goods

I remember companies that design shit here but still get asian slave labour to make it kicked up a fuss, they thought it was unfair.

Theory of comparative advantage? It's just stupid to make some stuff here.
