Labor has been negotiating with overseas car makers about what would interest them. I would presume they had some interest before announcing the policy.
Tesla claimed to use more automation ,but had to get rid of a lot of it because it either couldn't do what humans do, or it continually stuffed up. Surely being a paid Tesla employee you would know the reason they had such savage production problems was because of the automation they tried to use?

Once again Elon tried to be too clever for his own good. No wonder they can't make profit.
