It is Thursday, 19 March 2026, and the traditional Australian car dealership is officially on life support. If you’ve walked onto a “big box” lot recently, you’ve likely felt the friction.

It is Wednesday, 18 March 2026, and the “Tradie Truth” of Australian energy has just been flipped on its head.
