As I said, there we're many factors responsible for the end of manufacturing and Holden's demise, but none of them we're because GM just decided to 'kill off local manufacturing' which is what you suggested.

Keep in mind that the decision came after months of outspoken objection to
supporting car companies in this country and a promise by the then opposition
to cut five hundred million in funding...the whole thing turned toxic as hell.
Again, you do the math. Holden then knew it would never get the financial
support needed for another product cycle, that's why they folded when they did.
