(2) acknowledges that: (a) regional industry is not seeking a handout, but a level playing field; (b) without immediate policy intervention to address the energy disparity and the lack of import quality standards, the region risks permanent industrial decline; and (c) Australia needs a National Import Quality Taskforce to stop sub-standard foreign dumping, offering royalty discounts for companies that procure 100 per cent Australian-made items, and overhauling the 'Australian Made' logo fees so local workshops are not charged a premium just to tell the world where their goods were built.
