Hey the UK are using Cambodia & Bangladesh as well as China!!!(from examples in collection) Is this the case here too now!?!

Aussie combat uniforms are still Aussie made but the Service Dress uniforms are Chinese made since 2003.

I seem to recall an outcry a couple of years back that the boots were now going to be made in China-also concerns that the effective end of the garment industry here would mean something similar for the formal uniforms too.

The issued combat boots are made by Redback "100% Australian Made". Although soldiers can choose to purchase other brands from an approved list.
Our garment industry is in a lot of trouble, what's left of it. Hence the formal - service dress uniforms are now from China.
