What's the point?  It isn't part of Australian history, why have it sitting
in a remote part of Australia, where virtually no-one can access it, and it
can't be operated.  If it went back to Britain it could be preserved and
cherished for its significant heritage value.

Just like the Melbourne W class trams gathering dust in the huge sheds at
Newport, with their ban on export.  Totally pointless, they could be
restored and run overseas where there is a demand for them, rather than
mouldering away.
