Summary
Addresses the role of government in Australia through the life cycle of its automotive industry, from its success in attracting manufacturers, promoting the development of the industry, protecting and supporting, encouraging rationalization – and then being conflicted between that purpose and opening the market to imports, losing its grip on the industry, and finally succumbing to the temptation simply to subsidize it.
