I think you mean domestically owned, that's true. The Ford buildings up at North Shore look like they were a real auto industry, as does the old Pilkington Glass building. I reckon there would have been some Australian ownership of component suppliers and engineering contractrors, etc. So there was an industry.

Carbon Revolution, sounds Aussie owned, at least until listing.
