Hello,
The Car industry has died for a number of reasons. Back in the 70's unions got unrealistic pay rises. It now costs far too much to build Cars here. The sad thing is Aussie Cars have evolved to be very good, and well suited to our conditions. There is also an amount of snob value to own a Euro. We were once leaders in radio, once we lose an industry it is gone forever. We cant support an industry that relies on hand-outs and makes sub standard products, but we also cant be at mercy of OS suppliers either. Where do we go with things ? Do we keep making stuff that may not be cutting edge or send our money OS. My Car runs on Gas, we have plenty here so I would be happy to keep it forever. We need to look at fuel as well as our Car industry, electric is fine for a City commute but what about farm and mining machinery ? |
