Toyota in talks for Holden-style handouts - LINK
With the demise in Ford Australia's local manufacturing set to happen in 2016, maybe some of the boof heads in Government and opposition finally get the gravity of the situation facing the remaining two local car manufacturers. Or maybe I give some people way to much credibility in an election year.... |

Well there you go , toyota posted a loss for the last 3 years, people have been **** canning ford for not being able to make a dollar in oz, yet the high and mighty toyota needs hand outs to stay afloat as well.

Their exports have taken a massive hit due to our dollar in both volume and margin. Seems to be a lot of hate around at the moment.

The government will probably just throw more cash at the problem, when it does sweet f all in helping the local manufacturers be more competitive aginst imported rivals.
Just throwing cash at it does not solve the issue. Its the high cost of business, electricity prices, carbon tax etc, and the open flood gates that allow imports to flood our market by retarded free trade agreements that are anything but. Unless the government gets tough and protects our industries instead of letting them be screwed by foreign manufacturers its all just a waste of money. END RANT. |
