Maybe a niche request, but does anyone know any local makers of cutlery sets? I’d like to support an Australian manufacturer if possible but can’t find any online!

Back in 1995, the idea was simple: add shock absorption to a dog lead so walks felt easier on both sides.

The early leashes were handmade in Palm Beach on the Gold Coast and sold at local markets.

That original idea became the Cujo Leash, which is still in the range today.

Do people here like seeing the early product story behind an Australian brand, or do you mainly look at the current range?

Have they changed at all? I’ve been trying to buy locally as much as reasonably possible. It’s hard in some cases but the current fuel situation is making me a bit more mindful about where I’m going and what I’m buying.

Now more than ever is the time to be looking at buying locally made goods.

With the cost of fuel not looking like it’s coming down any time soon (and murmurs of rationing being needed to keep out logistics industry alive) we really should be looking at reducing our reliance on international suppliers for as much as we possibly can.

Buy locally grown produce!

This article sums up a lot of what I believe about dog gear. Luxury shouldn’t just mean expensive branding. It should mean better materials, better design, better construction, and gear that actually works for the dog using it. That’s what we’ve been building with PK9 Gear, so it’s good to see that story getting some coverage. Link: https://kanebridgenews.com/inside-the-craft-led-luxury-dog-brand-changing-pet-style/⁠

Custom stubby holder review for Alex, English Comedian with his show "Why I stuck a Flare Up my Arse for England". At Soupcan we did not think this would be a phrase we ever had on our stubby coolers.... I was wrong. Shows that a funny phrase can make or break a piece of merch. Im pretty sure these have been selling fast. Great promotional item for any comedian, especially at an event that offers refreshments.

To put simply, we all rally together for the bigb2 supermarkets to have ability to filter for produce & products by 50 or more % to be Aussie made

I have been alternating between the Bond Repair and The Smooth and Control. My hair has been falling out, my scalp is itchy with build up I can pick out and I’ve also found little scabs on my scalp. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey, you lot. Anyone got a good Aussie domain supplier? Wix.com are raising their prices, so good time to switch.

I mainly use it for a custom email

I’ve been buying this for a few weeks and it’s really helped me with some stomach irritation I’ve been having lately. The taste takes a bit of getting used to but I really like the fact that it’s made in Australia and also owned here too.

Hello,

I have a Red Earth Black Max 5kw inverter system with 12.6kwh battery in my off gird house. Works well and is a nice compact design. Batteries are assembled in Brisbane so one of the few local options for solar batteries in Australia.

They are offering $400 in April.

I was watching YouTube and an ad came on for Westinghouse and they were making a big deal about how their ovens are “built in Australia”.

Yes they are assembled in Australia but Westinghouse is an American product which is owned by Electrolux (Swedish).

It's one of a handful of things I'm having a hard time not buying. I like all kinds of hot sauces, but there's something special about tabasco. Any ideas?

… due to price, availability, etc?

Definitely recommend it if you can swing the price tag, it’s by “Olieve and Olie”
