Default Government handouts to car industry

Good to see more of our money going into our car industry.

GM HOLDEN has been given another handout - this time to develop relationships with its parts suppliers.
The $2.03 million confirmed yesterday by federal Innovation and Industry Minister Senator Kim Carr is under the Automotive Supply Chain Development Program.

It came less than a week after he visited Holden's plant at Elizabeth to hand over $39.8 million from the Green Car fund to help develop a more fuel-efficient Commodore.

The grants follow the $149 million of federal taxpayers' money that went to Holden over three years to help get the Cruze small car into production at Elizabeth.

Senator Carr yesterday also announced $1.16 million to Ford and $2.37 million to Toyota along with the $2.03 million to Holden "to foster even closer collaboration with their own key suppliers".
