Local &/or General is the second studio album by Australian new wave rock band Models,[1] which peaked at #30 on the Australian albums chart.[2] It was released in October 1981 on Mushroom Records with Stephen Tayler producing.[3]

Early in 1981, Janis Friedenfelds was replaced on drums by Mark Hough (a.k.a. Buster Stiggs) from New Zealand band The Swingers.[3] Prior to flying to the United Kingdom to record Local &/Or General, Models had made some demo recordings, which proved successful enough to be released as an EP, Cut Lunch in June.[1] One track, "Man o' Action", from that EP was re-recorded for Local &/or General.[1] The album provided two singles, "Local and/or General" in November and "Unhappy" in 1982, neither peaked into the Australian Top 50 singles chart.[2]
