Aussie, Aussie, Bangladesh???

This morning I was browsing in the shopping centre and a bunch of Australia Day clothes were on display.
Since I didn't have anything that patriotic I had a bit of a look and was considering buying a shirt. As I was checking the sizes the tag on the shirt caught my attention. There was a rather disproportionately large 'Made in Bangladesh' notation on the tag.
Once I saw that I immediately dismissed any thought of buying a shirt or anything else from that range. I find it quite offensive that a store expects us to buy Australia Day clothing that was so brazenly not made in Australia.
They didn't even try to hide it. So much for patriotism!
