The desire to carry water for American companies or European companies by excluding China is strange. Aus doesn't play that game. Trying to be protectionist on dead end ICE manufacturing capability will only serve to put them deeper and deeper into the grave that they want to share with the US.

I think that anybody who's trying to protect ICE manufacturing should take a hard look at what happened in China. They literally killed their ICE manufacturing with their new energy vehicle push. Absolutely gutted it. And they're reaping the rewards of doing so.

Chinese vehicles are built with subsidies and sometimes even slave labor to flood the market at artificially low prices.

American ICE manufacturers received way more subsidies than Chinese EV manufacturers.
