In the end what might work is taxing the products that haven't got the "I'm CO2 friendly" sticker for import or even domestic ones. The tax would be re-injected in local businesses as an incentive. Let's face it, at the end of the day this will be driven by us the consumers and we'll foot the bill regardless but it only seems fair that businesses who do the right thing are given the option to keep a competitive edge when selling. And that would work globally regardless of where the goods are made. BTW did you guys know you have to fork out money to have the "Made in OZ" Roo sticker on your products? I reckon that should be free for anything manufactured here and charge imports to have a compulsory "MADE OVERSEAS" sticker taken off if they want to. Again looking after your own team.
