Default "Gas Guzzlers" and Buy Australian Policy??

None of the Top 10 selling cars in Australia last year was even close to the European average.
In a major embarrassment for government local, state and federal fleets still represented three of the top five worst polluters.
Government departments typically run a high percentage of work utes and most have “buy Australian” policies that have traditionally favoured the big local sedans.
Really? I thought they gave that up years ago? I'm lucky to see the occassional Camry in the govt fleet pools around here ... saw FG Egas a few years ago .. rest are imported SUVs and Thailand-assembled utes.
