Lightbulb Suggestions on how to lift Aussie-made car sales

1. Email your state, local and federal govt reps and ask that they only buy Australian made. The Falcon, Commie, Cruze, Terri and the Toyota offerings should fill almost every niche required. No reason to buy a Lancer or Kluger or Prius.

2. State governments should make a new vehicle rego classification - 'family car' and that 'working families' who use them shouldnt be taxed at highest rate. If any car seats 5 and is a minimum of 1600kg then its a family car and may get the equal lowest rego rate. Example: in ACT/NSW rego goes up according to car weight.

3. Similar to the above, LPG powered cars should also be given the lowest rego rate. Again, virtually only Aussie-made cars run LPG.

Any other ideas out there? These ones are rationale and achievable.
