“…According to this reading Max plays the role of an unwitting messiah. 23 He is the consideration for the social contract; his sacrificial drive of the tanker distracts Humungus allowing the community to seek a more fertile home. However, this reading of Mad Max II, is both substantively and theoretically unsatisfying.…”

This paper argues that the car is an intimate aspect of the governance of Australia. The term governance is defined as the techniques used to know, order and manage individuals. 'Mad Max II: The Road Warrior' is used as a prism to separate out the roles that the car performs in governance. Three roles are identified-the car as identity, the car as myth and the car as power. Applying this framework to Australia reveals the car's complex involvement in Australian governance, from the knowing and ordering of others, to collective myths of possession and future prosperity, to the knowing of place from space, to the removal of indigenous children. The significance of the car means Australia can be characterised as the petrochemical, chrome plated cyborg republic of Oz.
