Today's Financial Review 27th June 2011:
“Holden warns of future" by Fleur Anderson
This story is on the front page.
We have been subsidising the car industry in Australia for how many years. You have to ask the question whether we should have one at all. It is a marginal industry and it is not really Australian. Yes, it does provide jobs directly and indirectly. If you take the emotional aspects out of it and look at the hard fact. The Federal government is subsidising a bunch of jobs which everyone has to pay for out of their pay packet. I mind that if it is directed toward industries that look to long term sustainability which also includes being environmentally friendly. The car industry is not in many ways!
My real beef is that they have always got there hand out asking for more subsidies. Now they want more for the green car assistance. I would not mind if they where manufacturing a low or no polluting vehicles. The car industry has resisted change for as long as I have been able to understand that we need to fix the pollution problems in our cities, Which by the way goes back to the the 70's.
The Australian government needs to support industries that are long term sustainable and environmental friendly. Notice I did not say low carbon. The car industry could be part of that if they would only stop being the wimps they are and have the balls to support a future sustainable industry. Bring on the car of the future.
