Manufacturing location details

The senator stated that producing goods locally was too expensive. Most items are produced in South America or Asia before shipping to the United States for printing. Screen printing of some designs occurs in Australia after the products arrive.

Product range and slogans

The collection includes towels, mugs, socks and shirts with political messages. Some designs feature images of the Prime Minister or biblical references. Other items display slogans about controlling the world or religious themes.
