When my husband & I go shopping, we search for Australian made, hell, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack! We want to look after our own farmers, etc first.

I have a book called "Ethical Supermarket Shopping", which is a comprehensive list of products and brands, aisle by aisle, with company and parent company information showing where each product is made and owned. It also contains information addressing contemporary issues such as food miles, palm oil, overfishing, child labour, genetic engineering, multinational ownership and packaging. It costs $8 with postage, is pocket size and is available from http://www.ethical.org.au/get/. Hope this helps!
