Ambassadors urged to use Australian cars abroad
Australian ambassadors should drive Australian made vehicles. Only three of 13 cars supplied to ambassadors in the first half of the year were Australian made and just two were identifiably Australian. Liberal MP Keith Hamer said ambassadors must publicly use Australian products to support the nation’s motor industry and would push for reductions in non Australian car spend next year unless impracticable.
