Would you want incentives to buy Australian?

[Brazen]

With the local market having a 5% tariff (one of the lowest for a car producing nation) and having to compete with other countries low environmental, OH&S and wage standards as well as competing with countries which send cars here but put heavy restrictions on Australian-made cars in return. Would people want to see a government incentive to buy Australian? Or do you think that competing with low-cost countries is the price to pay for being in the market and that the locals get enough help?

Im thinking reduced or free registration on Australian-made cars, maybe an Australian car rebate. Maybe business tax deduction incentives (this would dramatically change the fleet scene, making the locals a lot more attractive overnight - think Falcon ute).

Even if financially it doesnt make a big difference to most buyers, just the program's exposure to the community would make people consider an Australian-made car or at least bring it into consideration when car shopping.
