360042Completely agree with Takuma.
Those Aussies should be thankful that now they, too, can have residue-free arses. :D Can't wait for the resulting boycott, the whole country refuses to wipe :D
clearly Indonesia is destroying jobs in Australia. The Australians had better pull out of any signed trade agreements it has with Indonesia and bang up those head in the sand trade barriers
And the water hose helps you to cool down if you can't stand the spicy food lol
Exactly. Who needs toilet paper? You can't beat a good Indonesian hose down of the old tea towel holder.
Why is that a problem? Half-priced toilet paper means you can use it to 'wipe' twice ;D Use water to wash your butt then! Save the environment :D
Cheers

A large Australian workers union has written to the federal government threatening to launch a full-scale campaign over cheap toilet roll imports from Indonesia and China.
The union, known as the CFMEU, says that a large shipment of cheap toilet rolls poses a serious threat to jobs and the local manufacturing industry, Australian Associated Press reported on Monday.
The rolls are due to be sold at almost half the usual retail price, leading one major manufacturer in South Australia to predict 1500 jobs will be lost.
The union has requested an urgent meeting with the attorney-general, asking him to overturn the decision allowing the import.
“Exporters from China and Indonesia are hurting the tissue-making industry by selling product at a lower price,” CFMEU secretary Michael O’Connor said in a statement.
