Imported. I don't believe any primers are made here in Oz.

I'd guess only a few people would be needed to get a production line started. That's assuming they have the equipment/facility.

Why don't you start it up. See a few youtube videos.
While there you can build nuclear bonds and rockets as well.
If they were that simple, Remington, federal, cci etc etc would have doubled their factories by now and there won't be a primer shortage.

But I suspect, and everyone will have a whine about me saying this. But the wages here are just too high. No incentives from government and people to entitled. Was taking to a couple of boileys and they were having a whine how $60 bucks and hour on wages is not enough. And most place in Melbourne and Brisbane only want to pay 45 bucks. I understand why they be posted off cuz the unskilled labourer is getting 50-100+/hr and even the traffic loppypop girls are on 50+ an hour.
The reality from a manufacturer perspective is even America you can get cheaper labour. But eastern Europe you can have better skilled workforce for 1/3 the price even if they start making them now unless people want to pay $17/1000 for primers in 2 years when things settle down and primers maybe back to $10 or less they will have invested hundred of millions of dollars for a plant no one wants to buy the printers from (well not enough to sustain it)

The issue nowadays is that nobody can transport ammo/powders/primers.
Your locals might not be able to get them but other shops might have plenty still.
Find some six-hours away, order plenty to make it worthwhile, then make a trip to collect them. If you can find somebody local to there that can collect and hold them for you then you won't need to go during work hours.
What area are you in?
