We should never have sent them off. We should have transitioned Holden into an EV manufacturer, and kept industrial jobs in Australia. But that’s not the Liberal Party way. #auspol

It was an emotional day for Holden workers and enthusiasts as we celebrated 80 years of auto- manufacturing in Fishermans Bend. This was the send off we should have given them back in 2017.

@vanbadham You’re so right Vsn. The LNP governments have been so focused on short-term gains for themselves and capitalist mates to the detriment of Australia- as citizens, a country, a democracy. Such waste and such opportunity costs foregone What we could have done with the multi multi billions they’ve squandered !

Hockey dares GM to leave

The federal government has accused GM Holden of ingratitude and effectively issued the company its marching orders, increasing speculation the car maker’s departure is now a mere formality.

@vanbadham nothing stopping a federal government establishing or encouraging EV manufacture in Australia. I think it would win votes. Would be great to see an Aussie electric vehicle.

@vanbadham @kjwrite I would definitely buy an Australian EV over an imported one!
