Default holden
As Rog suggests. Govt procurement policy changes 20 years ago was the deathnell. Aka The Free Trade Agreement.

The FTA's across the board is what has killed aussie manufacturing. Coupled with all the other stuff like unions and the political BS. They all must share some blame.

I do like what Lindsey Fox said yesterday though regarding the govt propping up holden.

To paraphrase.

"If you continually feed the lion at the zoo and then put him out into the wild he'll have forgotten how to hunt and simply just wait for someone to come and feed him. And if that doesn't happen he'll die."

Ironic the use of the lion analogy!
