That wasn’t the front line and unions - it came from management. manufacturers also struggled with the economics - again not simply the unions. Yet some of the Toyota world wide strategy was developed in Australia. Holden engine company had an outstanding reputation.

But as you say no export market and local competition with so many car manufacturers in australia made it near impossible to ensure sustainability without handouts. Years of handouts also had the effect of impacting the search for productivity performance
