I don't think throwing money at the car industry was ever going to keep it running, they tried that with Mitsubishi and they still closed, and as the GM boss said "no amount of government money was going to save them, even the so-called “blank cheque” offered by the Labor Government in the final days of the last Federal election".
I also do not believe it mattered what political party was inn mattered, when Mitsubishi closed we had Labour in power in SA and nationally.
It is unfortunate that we just cannot compete with the cheep labour rates in countries like China and Korea.

Sounds like they took a note out of the PM's book after GM closed when he stated that the "workers had been liberated" not sure how un-employment is liberated but hey.
You have to wonder what is wrong with how our economy works when you see farmers dumping crops as it is cheaper than sending to market, yet we are importing the same shite from elsewhere or the recent comments by one union mob that we should follow the US model and sell all our farms to the large conglomerates and then our farmers can lease what used to be there land to work for someone instead of themselves.
There is a fundamental flaw in the way the economy works in that we are told to spend up in the shops as retail is doing it hard, we spend up and then get hit with higher interest rates as more imports are coming in due to the increased spending so we slow our spending to the cries of the retailers!! Then companies here start closing so all these people are unemployed in a time when work is hard to find. We see hardship rise with higher rates on mortgages and lower employment. The Govt of the day (no matter the party) notes too many people on unemployment benefits so we will review that to see if we can get some back from these people who cannot find work and round and round.
I honestly do not have the answer but I definitely think there is something to be said about looking inside first to find the fundamental issue then go from there.
Seemed like a good idea at the time

Bob, I express plenty of opinions without resorting to swearing. I do it every day for my job.
It is a measure of my rage at the effect this will have on the people of this state and the complete filth that dribbles from the mouths of politicians who want to sink the boot in while hardworking Australians are on the mat.
I did include a warning in my first post on the subject too.
I assume then you have never sworn in anger in your life?

Drew I do not wish to enter into a slanging match with you as I am quite sure your Rage is genuine and your posts were made with that in mind.
I have sworn in Anger in my Life but extremely rarely in the presence of Women or on a Public Forum.
It would probably be in our best interests that we put this behind us.

I hope someone in Canberra or Spring St. has a plan......l forking doubt it though.....
It sounds all la-di-da to crap on about the "new" economy, high tech jobs and the like but what does a former Ford or Alcoa process worker re-train as? A Bioscientist? I don't bloody think so.
Yes, there is a generation of highly technology literate workers coming through but it looks for all the world like we are about to chuck a whole lot of generation x manufacturing workers on the scrap heap. I'm a big believer in progress and new industries, it's just that nobody has been planning for this day!
Victoria will take decades to recover from this. Just look at Michigan to check out what's in the pipeline for us.

We need to train the kids for the industries we can sell overseas in the future.
At the moment they are still training people for jobs that will be gone in 4 years!
