It seems so wrong to me that Australia is about to lose all of it's automotive manufacturing ability, I realise it was very much on the cards, and so I spose maybe thats why theres no comment I can see on this forum on Toyotas announcement today.
I just dont understand why Australians are prepared to shrug their shoulders, seemingly with no problems as our manufacturing base and 60 years of automotive manufacture falls apart, the VF commodore and its varients is so close to being about, or is, the best sedan you could buy for the price in the world... and its all got to go so we can have free trade (with countries that underpay their workers and make shortlifespan heavy environmental cost products) just to get back to a budget surplus (a surplus we have lived without since the early 50s)???
Now that Toyotas made the announcement I dont suppose this facebook page I made will be able to attract the interest I had hoped. I should have launched it properly back in December, and got Jay Wetherall etc on board. This post, right here, is the first attempt at such a launch. If you are on facebook, you can still 'friend' it if you like.
