Jim Goose, I just started another thread using an article which included the quote above. Yes, there is a government directive to use Australian made vehicles as much as possible.

So there isn't an Australian made alternative to the Hyundai Santa Fe? (Which QPS use almost exclusively as their SUV) or any other 4 door sedan which many Govt departments have.. All the Corollas etc they use can be replaced by the EcoBoost Falcon
