Default Re: Will the Holden brand survive?

Re manufacturing, sadly some don't understand the influence of manufacturing industry as well as they think they do.
The contribution made by the automotive industry to Australia with engineering know-how more than justified the taxpayer funds used to support it.

The skill-set involved in the design and execution of automotive electronics packaging translates across to many other disciplines and has done for decades.
I think you have to experience it in practice to understand it not just quote some articles in the newspapers.

The current international situation demonstrates why some self sufficiency is needed. It is changing and changing fast.
Unfortunately Australia's leadership across the political spectrum in the last 20 years has been sorely lacking and now we are reduced to begging the USA to bolster our meagre 28 days of fuel supply reserve. Pathetic.
Bill.
