GM to dump Holden

[Baggers]

Perhaps the move to return to Aus manufacturing begins with one negative step?

Economics is not my strong suit, in fact probably my WAP suit. But it would seem that with the introspection that C-19 has created and rightly or wrongly a definite anti-Chinese sentiment palpable, this may be the ideal time to focus on local production and maybe even a uniquely Aussie car manufacturer which would very likely receive much more support than 6 months ago.

The future problem would no doubt be (in relation to all products) that as any negative Chinese sentiment subsides (maybe it won't? Or maybe China will be so affected by C-19 that it will force a change of govt?), that if China returns to the market place with reasonable products, dirt cheap, history will repeat itself... how can any nation compete with them when their labour is so cheap in comparison to ours and many other Western nations? Just 'spit-balling', as the Yanks would say.
