    Yeah. I’m hard pressed to think of any physical goods of American origin that I would have in my home. I have noticed grapes and mandarines from the US at the supermarket but definitely no household items.

    You’re right about services, like digital products and software. In my own personal case there isn’t much but I don’t think I’m indicative of Australians generally.

    I think this is why the Australian government chose not to implement tariffs. We buy American things like airplanes and microsoft windows. There’s no substitute for them locally so what would be the point of a tariff ?
