It seems that many N.Z. companies are manufacturing in China to increase the return for their shareholders. I hope this is not the case with Swandri. Dot.

bought a Swandri 15 years ago and was looking to get another. But since I don’t buy Chinese products (when I can help it) looks like I am back on the hunt

On National Radio today Rod Oram pointed out that the world wide workforce has doubled in the past decade. Is this not the primary cause of swandri’s problem/solution.

You are right Matt, every thing that politicians do or say is about points scoring.

However parliament is responsible for the “free trade” problems that are destroying quality local production and even produce.

I hate that Swandri are moving to China, but I don’t like Rod Donald’s comment either because a. it sounds like he is using this event to score political points, and b. he assumes the politicians are running the show.
