Textils clothing footwear and allied industries


            The Australian TCFL Industry has had a number of changes in the past three centuries.
             In the early 19th century, up to the 1860's, Australia's textile industry existed mainly in NSW and could not really be considered to have been of any significance. This was largely due to the small population, which could not sustain any significant textile manufacturing. Australia was seen largely as a producer of raw materials. Mills and other textile manufacturing establishments flourished briefly and then faded from the scene.
             During the 19th century Australia's greasy wool production increased and a wool textile industry slowly developed. Victoria was the first to develop a wool textile industry and became Australia's wool manufacturing centre. Australia's wool textile industry may be considered to have its beginnings in the late 1860's when several woollen mills were founded in Victoria and Tasmania. Australia developed a reputation as a grower of fine wool.
             Many efforts were made, mainly government financial incentives, to develop a cotton growing industry from the 1850's onward, although successful cotton growing was only achieved from the 1960's. The 19th century was a period of massive industrialisation. Cottage industries gave way to large heavily mechanised factories.
             The 20th century was a period if growth and expansion and added strength for the budding industry. .
             The establishment of the Commonwealth of Australia had a stimulating effect upon the industry. There has been a contraction of wool textile manufacturing in Australia. This began in the second half of the 1970's as a result of reductions in Tariff protection. .
             Up to 1974 TCFL Industries flourished due to protectionist policies based on systems designed to keep overseas competition to a minimum. This shielded local manufacturers against low cost labour countries. This meant that productivity and quality were not maximised as manufacturers had little competition.
