Don’t buy SAAB or Volvo. Shop anywhere, but IKEA. And say “nej” to a host of very familiar brand names (including Electrolux, AEG-Electrolux, Westinghouse, Simpson, Chef and Dishlex) all owned by Swedish multinational, Electrolux. Oh, and hang up on Ericsson mobile phones.

The names below list companies - both Swedish and non Swedish - that sponsor part of the Swedish Australian Chamber of Commerce website. Feel free to voice your anger by emailing those firms or telling them of your refusal to use their products or services, until such time as they ideally disengage from that Chamber of Commerce or at least, publicly condemn the Swedish government’s threats to slaughter our wool industry:
