The fallout from our blue with China has reached a new low today, with Bunnings revealing that they are now facing critical shortages of products.
As hordes of Australian primary producers and exporters scramble to try and save their businesses, which our government effectively ruined by talking shit about China, some importers are now frantically trying to make other plans as well.
This comes after the hardware chain Bunnings revealed that they can’t get their hands on any more single-use power tools – only ten days out from Christmas.
The issue has manifested itself in the form of ‘Australian owned but Chinese made’ Ozito having an internal trade ban placed on its single-use tools – which are extremely popular with weekend warriors, upper-middle-class dads who don’t see the value in buying decent tools and tradies who know they can just run them into the ground and bring them back the next day.
“Yeah, this is our biggest trading period,” explained local Bunnings manager Tim Membre.
“And now we can’t even re-stock our selves with any single-use power tools and drill bits that go blunt after 3 holes,” he sighed.
“People love that stuff because they think they are being money savvy and outsmarting the system by buying cheap shit that doesn’t work very well.”
“Hopefully China doesn’t ban all of our expensive tools that are also made in China too,” he laughed.
“Otherwise it’s just the sausage sizzle for customers.”
China has yet to officially confirm that they have put a block on it’s single-use power tools to Australia, but the Global Times have issued some vague slur revealing that new markets will be hit every day because of our government’s behavior to lead the global charge in calling for an inquiry into the origin of the coronavirus.
