[2011G6E]

There's a huge difference in convincing the public to "buy Australian" when you are talking about something like a fridge or a shirt or an apple, compared to them laying down forty large or more on something like a car, that has ongoing running costs associated with it.

A family car is hardly a simple spur of the moment discretionary purchase that people won't think twice about. They'll hardly be dropping a large amount of money on a type of car they don't really see a need for in their life just to "Buy Australian"...
