"Most politicians vocally support Australian-made products. Manufacturing
certainly provides excellent opportunities for candidates in high-vis to make
election campaign announcements.
Labor has promised to make Australia “a country that makes things again”. It
has emphasised locally-made transport, NBN infrastructure, apprenticeships and
defence-related production.
The Coalition has spruiked the federal government’s modern manufacturing
strategy. It highlights technology investment and six priority areas (minerals,
food, medical, clean energy, defence and space).
But despite the seemingly endless announcements, Australian manufacturing
remains a problem for the major parties. Whoever wins the federal election will
need to do things very differently if they genuinely want to boost local
production."
