[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 120872, member: 2976"] It is a great shame we can't make more stuff here - and I'm speaking in general here - and I tend to foresee higher costs of living as import costs rise and many industries that were shuttered here during the strong currency era because imports were so cheap fail to return simply because the currency has depreciated again. But as with anything there are always opportunities within a sour situation somewhere and I've always thought that this might be one of them. We Aussies are also fortunate that our ancient continent is blessed with it's fair share of gemmy materials. Of course, lapidary equipment and supplies is only a little niche market and will never employ large numbers of Australians but it would still be nice to see a little domestic industry grow rather than go the way of the dinosaur like most of our productive industries have.
