They have already clearly stated that the 787's and 380's won't be done in Australia come hell or high water. The state and federal governments don't care enough about aircraft maintenance to warrant them putting in any funds at all to keep the industry alive unlike the doomed car industry.
Have you guys read the thread about Bob Katter's Bill to make airlines that operate domestic routes must have 80% of the maintenance based in Australia, and domestic flights must be operated by australian based air crew? Thats what we need to prevent 787 maintenance going offshore and to secure Australian jobs.
