Badge reading ‘My country first, protect its Industries, buy its goods’

This badge supports the protection of Australian industries. It was probably made in the 1930s, as part of a campaign by The Australian Natives’ Association (ANA) to promote Australian-made goods. The ANA was one of the largest and most influential friendly societies in Australia.
