China has risen from nothing  in the last century.  Maybe its time for Aussies to build finished product and export from our own backyard and cut out the middleman while there is an opening in the market for future demand in Asia and the rest of the world for EV's based on comparative advantage not absolute advantage while the big boys are otherwise distracted with trade wars..  Seems that there is some thought with future battery production in Darwin.  CXO right in the action based on logistics. 

Strategic thinking just like the Chinese has got to extend the time frame instead of a nation operating as a bunch of city states waiting for a quick buck by selling the farm and cutting future revenue..  Never has the role of government in nation building been more important in the paradigm shift we will see in the energy sector.  The NT government is running out of options to generate income for distribution. In due course CXO will have doors open for them.  This in not about labour costs in the modern world, but rather about automation.  Chines produce 50,000 engineering graduates a year.  How many do we?  Mao's long march started with a single step.  Survival is about positioning yourself for change.  We have plenty of talent and resources to boot.  The missing ingredient?  Business sense!
