I would like to see more facts/figures on how much indirect employment the local industry provides.
I think it is also they're not delivering a product that the market wants (figures show that).

Buying local will get you a sedan, a ute, a SUV (which sells well) or an average small car. None in one brand either so as a consumer the choice of a local car is very limited. No one should be forced to buy a particular brand or type of car.
