The demise of local Holden manufacturing is just another effect of the "We want everything now" attitude of people now. So collectively people push for more money thinking they are the only ones doing it in the false belief they are geting ahead of the flock. All that has done over the past decades is make the local product more expensive so people spend their money on the cheaper imported product. Then complain they lose their jobs and expect goivernments to bail them out but it was their own greed in the first place together with not supperting the industries that give them their inflated remunerative jobs. It is a simple case of not being able to have your cake and eat it as well but on a larger scale. Just as an exercise, go to a car plant and look at the employees cars in the car park. Less than 20% on last count supported their own industry evidenced by their choice of vehicle. How can the local employer pay staff if their product is not being bought at a viable quantity.One day people will understand you cannot eat breath or drink money.
