Would Australia build its Sea Harriers locally?

Would Australia establish domestic production for its share of the Commonwealth Sea Harrier fleet?

Full production is doubtful for roughly 75 aircraft, but Australian final assembly from British-built kits is plausible.

The larger program might produce around 300 Sea Harriers, but Australia would receive only about a quarter of that total. Approximately 75 aircraft are unlikely to justify a complete national manufacturing line. British-built parts could instead be shipped as kits for assembly in Australia. That arrangement creates domestic work and participation while preserving the economies of the main production base. Politically valuable local content does not require the much costlier goal of sovereign manufacture.
