Yes because isolating our manufacturing standards from the rest of the world (with a bigger market potential) is really going to secure manufacturing here. Build cars that can't be bought anywhere else.
With One Ford full swing ahead, expect FoA to push the local arm into complying with international standards that are more widely recognised.
I wouldn't vote greens but I am all for standardising compliance. How many here keep ramping on about how good the locals are and how they can compete with the imports? Well here is their chance to really prove it. Ford OZ can leverage from their European and US counterparts.
Next step, rid of ADR.
