Those jobs are already there, I was suggesting new jobs, ones that might be more technically challenging.
Ones that lead to manufacturing jobs, near population centres, unlike the present ones, where people have to fly to where the hole in the ground is.
Jobs that drive technical, scientific and engineering excellence, that improve educational and social outcomes.
Or we can do as you say, just get a job with a company that digs hole, until all the holes are dug.

Just keep the rust out of it and it should last forever, unless a green government gets in, then they will probably ban the registration of old vehicles on "safety concerns, to protect you from getting hurt, when you hit a plastic EV". ?

It's not just about where the investment is, it's also about where the jobs are.

Is it concerning to that BYD will be creating jobs in Shenzen, China?

Were you equally concerned when Tesla started selling cars here, and in doing so was creating jobs in California?

They are “Cleaner” than petrol cars, no one claims they have zero impact, put simply Ev’s run on a combination of renewable fuels and fossil fuels, where as petrol cars are almost 100% fossil fuels, Also Ev’s use their energy more efficiently, petrol cars waste a lot of energy.

what this video, the links to all the science mentioned are in the description of you want to check the actual studies.

over their life evs will continue to get cleaner and cleaner as renewable energy is rolled out more, and batteries are recycled to produce new batteries.

Build quality is the only concern I have in buying an EV,everything else is pretty much a no brainer oh and the older I get the tighter I get

If you say so. Though I was commenting on the funny statement "they are only one of the more advanced and leading manufacturing & automobile makers in the world". ? So advanced and leading that they couldn't work out a exhaust system

Most are now "built" by robots with humans mostly doing small and fiddly assembly work, plus QA.
Very few of the Chinese EVs I have been looking at have less than a 7 year warranty, and one I saw had a 10 year mechanical warranty and a de facto lifetime warranty on its LFP battery which was expected to last over 30 years or 3000 cycles (ie. 2 full cycles a week).
You only need to try to buy a second hand Tesla to see how well these cars last, and retain their value, even though Tesla's build quality in early years was somewhat average.

I'd still lean towards a company that had runs on the board....

I would rather more jobs were in Australia, anything wrong with that ?

However it's amazing that someone of your experience doesn't recognise (or won't admit) the strategic problem that over reliance on the CCP for products and investment poses to the West in general and Australia in particular.

Just multiply Russia by about 10.

I think you are letting $$$ get in the way of commonsense.

Only Nissan and Tesla have decent EV runs on the board. But Nissan is in the EV dark ages, and so are most legacy automakers.
All the new start EV start up use a dedicated EV platform and have stolen the best technicians to get their products on the road. Lucid was the best example in America.
I reckon you need a rethink!

I think globalisation is the here to stay, and I honestly believe the more integrated the global economy gets the security and prosperity there will be.

Of course I want massive amounts of investment and jobs created in Australia where it makes sense and where we have advantages, because we already have pretty low unemployment, I want our labour force directed to the industries where they will be most effective at generating value for our economy and the global economy.

if building a car factory here makes sense from an investment and labour force perspective, someone with make that investment.

where I would really love to see jobs being created is Africa,

You would have to find a stable government there first.

The trend of constant improvement is there to, if you ever get a chance to read the book called Factfullness I highly recommend it.
