  1.  @RemusKingOfRome  Calm down! Take a deep breath I haven't disagreed (or agreed) with you. Am only saying that too many people today, are addicted to the, throwaway culture of cheap consumer goods. I did not say, that I was in favour of it. By the way, I live in Australia, too.

  2.  @Asianometry  I think he was being sarcastic.

  3. I lived in NZ, in the early 70's, when it was still a highly protected market. Food and housing were very affordable. Other things though, were incredibly expensive (e.g. consumer goods) because of government tarrifs. There was a huge market for second hand goods. Most families could only buy a second hand car. Our car, fridge, washing machine... etc., were all seconds, and my dad was a doctor! In real terms, clothing would have been 2-3 times the price it is now. There was also a plethora of regulations in place, to prevent foreign producers, gaining a foothold in the NZ market. For example, you could only get margarine, with a doctor's prescription, from the pharmacist. Tax payers had to pay for that administration, as well. It had its pros and cons, but I'm not sure that younger Kiwis (i.e., anyone less than 55 years old), would accept the price hike, in consumer goods.
