The next-gen "Orion" Falcon, maybe. But as the article points out, the current-gen Falcon just isn't up to par compared to the Holden. The only thing worse than not importing great products is importing poor products in their place.

FPV maintains that it doesn't want to get involved in a horsepower war with Holden Specialty Vehicles (HSV), which is an elegant way of conceding defeat before you've even left the showroom. While FPV's slogan of "total performance" applies to the well-integrated package of accessories worn by this Falcon GT, the hardware isn't especially exciting.
How hard would it be to start producing the GT500 powerplant down there? Not to terribly expensive I'd say. Now this could just be Edmunds trying to goad them into making such a move, but all the same I'd take FPV at face value on the matter.
