[Ford_The_Win]

I don't profess to know much about the auto industry, but it's a bit of a double edged sword the way I see it, increasing tariffs would help the local auto industry, but then Holden and Ford would be able to get away with selling poor quality, overpriced cars as they have done in the past. If there was no competition from overseas marques Holden would still be flogging the VY. I think a good compromise would be increasing tariffs but building global cars/platforms here in Australia, like the Focus or Corolla. That way the buyer gets a quality, well designed car that is also made in Aus.
