We make it easy to buy Aussie Products

Shopping for Australian products is a minefield. Reading labels and working out what symbols and jargon mean is confusing. There are variations in meaning and each manufacturer has a different agenda to push. This is why we have tried to make it easier to buy Australian. Our ‘wobbler’ tickets mark the place of origin of the company owning the products you are looking at. So you can choose a company whose profits stay in Australia.

Please note: The tickets, by themselves, do not guarantee the product is grown or made in Australia, or that all ingredients are from Australia. But it does mean that the product is made by an Australian-owned company. And once you know that the product is made by an Australian-owned company you can then check the product’s individual label to see whether the product is made in Australia and what percentage of the ingredients are from Australia.

Though five options are being considered under Sunshine Coast Council’s Mass Transit Options Analysis, the Council’s previously dis- closed preferred mass transit solution is a $1.5 billion proposal for light rail. The Council’s light rail would eventually run from Caloundra along Nicklin Way through Kawana and then along Alexandra Parade, finishing after 22 kilometres in the new Maroochydore City Centre. The pro- posed first stage would cover the segment of this corridor from Maroochydore to Birtinya.
