With only 25 million people we cannot afford those subsidies.

That is also one of the biggest killers for australian auto manufacturing. We simply do not have the population to support it, cause our market is 17 times smaller than it is in the US. Hence we do not have the potential sales numbers to support building locally. The sales volumes need to support the investment.
Thats why people who keep sprouting the idea that auto manufacturing will come back here are making zero sense.
But nah it's the unions and high wages
