I'll buy Australian made or grown whenever possible.

My Wife hates going grocery shopping with me, because I check everything that goes in the trolley, and if it's not Made locally, it's back to the aisle that it came from, and a quick look at the other options.

Colgate is case in point. I noticed that its taste had changed, and turned the tube over, noticing that it was no longer made in Australia. Off to Macleans I went. Arnotts were made only in Australia, with "Made in Australia, exporting to the World" written on all of their labels. Their new Rice Crackers are Indonesian, but Sakata blatantly advertised Tinned Tuna, Australian made Thai Curry Pastes, nor a number of other tinned products. I'm also quite happy to buy frozen foods from New Zealand, especially Peas, of which there aren't many Aussie ones left.

I will not buy imported fruit. I will not buy imported meat. This year, I've even found an Australian grown, Organic Ham for Christmas. The organic bit doesn't really worry me, but the fact that I know it's Australian is everything.
