How come we have to pay so much for the NZ made produce when Aust doesn't have GST on their home grown products. We should have a lower GST/ No GST on our goods. Making it easier for families to have good health food for there meals and supporting the local producers as well.

Hi, I understand how you feel, however I'm visting my son and his family in Queensland and I've seen how much the veges are eg: lettuce $3.98 in NZ $2.60 with gst.. I cringe at the prices of veges and fruit. I don't buy veges as I grow my own and as for the fruit i have citrus trees grape vine and passionfruit. these help with the cost cuts in my shopping. It also gives me something else to moan about like the price of petrol.....lol
