A candidate for Clive Palmer's United Australia Party running in the upcoming federal election who says he worked for more than a decade in China's garment industry has shared a meme urging for the nation's defence force uniforms to be"Aussie made".
"Australian Army Uniforms Are Now Made In China," the meme read."SHARE if you think our defence force uniforms should be Aussie made".that the dress uniforms are made in China because none of the five companies that tendered for the deal offered to make them locally, but combat uniforms and combat boots continue to be made in Australia.
