  Button car plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Button Car Plan (also known as the Button Plan) was the informal name given to initiatives by the Australian Federal Government to rationalise the motor vehicle industry.
The most obvious effect of the plan for the Australian car buyer was the appearance of badge engineered vehicles, where the same basic vehicle was sold by several different companies under different names.
The Button Car Plan was one of the first implemented examples of economic rationalism that marked the Australian Labor Party's term of office with the election of Bob Hawke and treasurer Paul Keating.

While the buttons look and feel sufficiently upscale for the stylish interior, they can be difficult to interpret (particularly while driving) given their similar size and shape and their non-intuitive markings.
Brauer explained: "Instead of placing large buttons in easy-to-reach places on the wheel, the buttons are too close to the hub and require lifting your hand off the wheel to operate, basically negating the whole point of steering wheel controls.
This car may not be the class leader in any specific category, but the combination of performance, amenities, safety, style, and price is very hard to match.

John Button is with me in Melbourne, and we’ve also asked John Spoehr, the executive director of the Centre for Labour Research at Adelaide University, to join in the conversation.
They envisaged that the car plan would reduce the number of employees considerably, and I think they’ve done extraordinarily well in terms of workplace collaboration and skills, both employers and employees, and the manufacturers I think accepted the challenge.
