Aussiemade aisle a popular idea
“The ecosystem just blew up”: fish expert THE catastrophic event which has killed more than a million fish across western NSW waterways has been described as “the perfect storm” by Charles Sturt University freshwater fish ecologist Lee Baumgartner. “In biological terms, it was the perfect storm. The ecosystem just blew up,” he told Dubbo Photo News.
THE Dubbo region is all for buying Australian made, and we would all love to have an aisle in the supermarket where every product is 100 per cent Australian-made using Australian-made ingredients, according to an online poll conducted by Dubbo Photo News. We live in a region of primary producers, and yet it’s too hard to find products that are 100 per cent Aussie, our readers said. While having the all-Aussie aisle sounds like a great idea, sadly some respondents to our survey doubted we’d be able to fill a whole aisle, particularly when many products come close – for example “made with 97 per cent local ingredients” – but not close enough. Many manufacturers feel they have little choice but to source the most expensive ingredients off shore to stay competitive. “Our standard of living makes producing here expensive. It’s hard to compete. For some consumers, cheaper products are very important,” West Dubbo IGA supermarket owner Henry Jom told Dubbo Photo News.

Hot, dusty, dirty... but rewarding work RICK SMITH is co-owner of Steel Supplies and, as a lifetime veteran in the industry, he knows that working in that field isn’t for everyone. “It’s hot, dusty, dirty, we had a very hot week last week in the 45s, and the guys worked through that. We supply them with as much water and clothing that can cool them down, anything we can do to make it easier, but in the end, customers come in, they want to be served and that’s the conditions that we’ve got to work in,” Mr Smith told Dubbbo Photo News. Finding employees in his industry is fairly hard, so Mr Smith decided to give the Aboriginal Employment Strategy (AES) a go at finding a worker for the business, and Ryan Williams was recommended.
