We have five Australian cars in our garages. I have always had a Holden or ford as my daily until I needed a car to tow our K kamper so we bought a jeep. Still keeping the gt for long drives without the camper.
We are having trouble getting carpenters to work as they have all gone Chasing the big money in the mines and we can't compete. There is no way we are going to import off shore workers. Lots of gov funded projects eg our new massive police station, and also non gov. Eg, bunnings and aldi who appear to have a lot of foreigners working on their sites. They all stay in the local pubs spend money in our town and are nice people but surely we can give some incentives to the youth of today to try and encourage Australians to be tradesman. Classic example Northparkes fleeced 25 jobs a fortnight ago and a third of these people don't have trades to fall back on. so how will they be able to maintain their life style they have been accustomed too? Anyways it seems we are labour short and are importing man power, we tried to keep Japan And the red peril out during the second world war and Vietnam war so what was the point? We are now importing pork fruit and things we should be able to grow in Australia anyway that is enough ranting from me. I think it's a sad day when we no longer have ford and Holden both of which are near and dear to me
