25% is laughable. Add another 74% and you'll be closer to correct.

We are actually very lucky (for now). Australia produces much more food than it consumes. About 70% of agricultural product is exported. We have (for now) food security. 25% is bad enough but to make out that most of what we consume is made o's is propaganda.
I know you're just being hyperbolic for effect, but 25% is already extremely high.
It's not surprising we've gotten to this point though. Seeing as we've offshored all our manufacturing jobs in search of higher profits for shareholders...
We don't make shit in Australia anymore. We're a country of holes in the ground and houses as the only economic output 😅
US is 14%. BS you hardly find anything not "made in china" in supermarket. Same as in Australia.
