It seems to be in inbuilt Aussie psychology
Let's sell raw materials- like we aren't good enough to compete on the world manufacturing stage.
Wool, iron, Copper, lithium- to name a few.

I would love to see a government with the gonads to say- no more raw exports.
if we don't value add- we don't sell. Let's scale up a value add chain and legislate to protect it.

How do you make cheap cars? - obtain cheap materials. Without materials cheap labour is meaningless.

How many (cheap) products could OS countries make without Aussie minerals?

Come on Albo & co. Grow a set and make a few big calls on this energy transition opportunity- we will never have this chance again- don't squander it ffs.
