With Australia Made Week kicking off today, the time to celebrate Australia’s local makers and growers is now.

Australia Made Week, which runs from the 15th to 21st May, is a time to “say g’day to one extra locally made or grown product each week just to boost Australia’s economy”, according to Laurel on 4BC Breakfast.

So when at the shops this week, Mark urges you to keep an eye out for the “little green and gold kangaroo tag or sticker on a product so you know that it’s made by Australia”.
