Will be interesting to see if they actually get picked up by the police. Currently from what I know most units in Australia who require an AR use US made Daniels Defense AR-15s. There are a few units (Vicpol CIRT and SOG, along with some NSW unit) that also use Sig Sauer MCXs. Daniels Defense and Sig rifles are already expensive (Even before factoring in cost of importing), so it certainly can't be argued that going with US made rifles is cheaper than the Australian made ones...
Hopefully the ADF pick them up as well. Lithgow x Wedgetails showed off both an 6.8 AR and an 6.8 Aug at the recent Land Forces Expo, so who knows what they end up adopting in the future.
