  1. it's such a lovely concept to scale manufacturing in Australia, particularly in the wool/textiles sector. What they're neglecting to admit is that the whole reason 99.9% of Australia's wool is processed in China is because it's cheaper and uses chemicals/processes that we never would in Australia - eg machinewash for wool.

    On Thursday, the #AustralianFashionCouncil announced the “National Manufacturing Strategy for Australian Fashion and Textiles” with industry partner #RMWilliams and a parliamentary committee steered by federal Labor MP Matt Burnell.

    Dean and Melanie Flintoft rescued #SilverFleece, a 75-year-old #KnittingMill in South Australia, from liquidation. AFC executive chair Marianne Perkovic called the strategy “a significant investment in the future of national #manufacturing”.
    The first item on the agenda? More onshore #WoolProcessing.”
