  Launching it in Australia would cost tens of millions of dollars, and state and territory tourism bodies would be required to pitch in,

  Why?

    Because it is a for profit advertising scheme like the Better Business Bureau, JD Power & Associates, and other pay to play bullshit.

    it’s also a loss leader for Michelin, it costs more to keep the food reviews going than they make for it, so it requires support to run.
