      日益增长的廉价进口服装被指责是布里斯班（Brisbane）西部Dinmore的一家工厂关闭的原因。
      Yakka将会在下个月末关闭，结束其19年的服装生产历史，将会有32名员工失业。
在一份书面报告中，公司将持续的进口竞争列举为这个决定的主要原因。
      纺织品、服装和鞋业联盟的州秘书杰克.莫雷尔（Jack Morel）说澳大利亚与中国的自由贸易协定正在破坏国内市场。
     “中国一名不熟练的工人的劳动力成本是60分一小时，那里一个熟练的车工是每小时1.45元而澳大利亚是15元，根本没有办法竞争，”他说。
                              Clothes factory blames closure on cheap imports
    Friday, September 16, 2005.
    Increasing quantities of cheap imported clothing are being blamed for the closure of a factory at Dinmore, west of Brisbane.
    Yakka will close its door late next month, ending 19 years of corporate clothing manufacturing and leaving 32 staff jobless.
    In a written statement the company has cited continuing import competition as the main reason for its decision.
     Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union state secretary Jack Morel says Australia s free trade agreement with China is destroying the domestic market.
     "The labour costs for an unskilled personnel in China is 60 cents an hour and for a skilled machinist over there it s $1.45 as against $15 in Australia and it just cannot compete," he said.
