Senator Steve Fielding launched his anti-McDonald's fries campaign today at a McDonald's in Ballarat in regional Victoria, in protest of McDonald's use of imported food products.
A McDonald's spokeswoman said contrary to Senator Fielding's comments, most McDonald's fries are made from Australian-grown potatoes. "We spend $500 million on Australian products for our restaurants, so it's about 93 per cent that we spend on Australian products," she said. "I think it's a very interesting comment (for Senator Fielding) to make, particularly when we employ 56,000 Australians and we are a major contributor to the local communities."
