VFACTS - May 2024

It would be interesting to look at global inflation and compare pricing to other countries.

I don't think car prices have risen that much above inflation.

We are an island. Everything that comes here, comes by boat or plane. How's transport costs these days?

While some may have an issue with the stories the govt told about the benefits of losing the auto industry (an oxymoron) the fact remains it wasn't sustainable without govt subsidy and tarriffs. If Australia still had an auto industry (making cars that is) I very much doubt we'd be any better off.
