The $30 M for Focus production was when Tom Gorman was in charge but I'm pretty sure
that any offer never got to an actual figure, all they did was allow Ford to keep $34 million
offered for the 2014 Falcon FGX model upgrade and a similar amount for Territory....
Apart for that the govt chipped in for $30 M assistance for workers and Vic Govt. $9 M
I do remember some comment that even if Ford was offered $500 Million it wouldn't be
enough to change the decision that was already made and that may have been from
Ford itself.
