BTW I'm working in the Steel manufacturing Industry and we are constantly struggling to stay afloat economically due to customers constantly wanting to import cheaper steel.

Yeah and the problem with the steel industry is that the miners somehow thought it was a great short term earner.No matter that it gets sold for a few dollars a tonne then we can buy it back next month for a few hundred dollars a tonne.Same thing with the timber industry,almost give it away so it can be bought back as cheap,rubbish furniture.
