Sure, but that is not completely attributable to labour cost alone.

Ford Australia have to pay govt costs that are often non existent in Asian countries.

Like factoring in overall profits that can be sent back to the US with much less tax paid as incentives to manufacture there.

Ask Ireland how many Intel microprocessors are manufactured there since the tax breaks finished....ZERO
