Increasing tariffs to help protect the Aussie Car Business is the obvious solution, it seems to be working for those that are doing it as they still have an industry. You can only bend so much before you break and Ford have broken, others will follow.
Not all PLAYING FIELDS ARE LEVEL and that is why tariffs exist globally. Choosing not to acknowledge basic economics and fundamental fact will send you into the ****ter. That is exactly what this blinded bunch of ****wits in Canberra do best, we are so clever we can ignore what works and fix things that are not broken whilst doing the exact opposite of what should be done.
I have recently sold my share of a manufacturing company in Campbellfield and we did once do work for Ford and many other local manufacturing companies in that area. The story is the same all over, gone to China or gone fullstop. To see it first hand was quite a humbling experience, but you can adapt to a certain degree to find opportunity to remain competitive. Everyone has a limit and unfortunately more are finding it.
When will this country have a leader that actually has the balls to do something, not hide behind bull**** rhetoric, say what they actually think and squash these bloody minority groups. Do what they know to be right and just, despite what the spin doctor states. You either are with the tide or against it, greater good for the greater number. A simple philosophy that Canberra just don't get.
Don't get me started on our Farms/Land and Stations going overseas !!!
Jeeezz, I knew I would get cranked up........apologies. My 2 cents....
