Our govco does seem to get it, as can be seen with their support of new energy mining (and even value adding to that mining) developing a western supply chain for the materials. I guess they want to let Australians get the most car for their $ with allowing the Chinese to take that section of the market in the meantime, no worries about the software or hardware. All a bit of a joke as prices have shifted upward greatly since our industry closed, anyway. Rather have the 20K Corolla in that price bracket tbh
