But then in not purchasing the Aussie built cars they are not supporting the Australian economy as extensively.
Then there is the resale value, the difference may be minor in auctioning(please anyone tell me if I am wrong),If the foreign cars have better resale than the government would be using tax payers monies more efficiently and could use this money saved for other things to help the economy.
Just a few thoughts I thought i would throw out there, I for one think they should purchase LPG Aussie built vehicles, Or get them converted(2 birds with one stone), which would most likely solve some of the issues I stated above.

Considering the volume of cars driven by government officials against the driving population as a whole, it's a drop in the ocean. They should be supporting local industry and local workers, bottom line - no excuses.
