And in the same way australia doesnt need to be involved with car manufacturing to enjoy the benefits of low cost car manufacturing. If you can tell me a few people on the BRW rich list who still work in the *** end of the company that made them rich, then you may have a point. But employment doesnt create wealth, alot of employment is used to make others wealthy (and you can earn more money but still get poorer if those around you are getting richer quicker), getting cars made cheaply overseas is one of them.
Take a chill pill Baby...............

Reread my sarcasm again.

My point about unemployment here is more about your Tax dollars having to pay for people that had a job, now no longer having one as the Goven. had knifed in the back with a stupid policy.

Australia doesn't need to be involved in manufacturing?? Well not until these poor nations decide that they're being ripped off and demand more coin for the work they are doing. Then we'll have to pay again the setup these manufacturing factories here in Aus, but guess what, we've lost decades of experience and knowledge, so we have to import the expertise... at a cost of course..

In the end, i was being sarcastic in my original post. It's just ****-poor how we treat people living in our own country.
