If, over time, the capacity and ability to make objects is replaced with importing products from other
nations; then, when international borders are restricted or even closed, the provision of goods becomes
a significant challenge. Observation of the response by Australian manufacturers as they pivoted their
activities to address shortages of key objects needed during the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the value
of this sector in the making of objects that are both complex and not so complex. Complex objects have
long been revered due to their high value, and non-complex objects are generally less valued. However,
non-complex objects have an equally important role to play, as was highlighted when borders and supply
chains were disrupted due to the pandemic. This chapter will shed light on how the making of objects both
complex and not complex should together be supported to maintain and grow the ability and capacity
for a nation to provide for its object-based needs, particularly during difficult times.
