Yet another bash in the AU auto industry in todays smh.com.au - this time finance writer Michael Pascoe. What follows is the predictable anti-AU crowd. I tire of reading this.
Now I will freely admit I have no access to a detailed report which spells out whether Australia would be better/worse off dropping Fed govt assistance to the local carmakers. But trying to put AU auto workers out of a job in light of the international economic climate seems foolish. We know that if China gets a sniffle or coughs and the mining boom goes south we are in for a big hurt session. So, time to smash Fairfax in the mouth I say. Boycott them any way you can. Alas I dont buy newspapers anymore so....its hard to. Newspapers are a fading sector and by all accounts Fairfax's online enterprises arent making up the difference. This is why their share price is tanking. I think car manufacturing in AU will outlast Fairfax. It would be a shame coz I cant stand Murdoch press either...and the ABC is also fairly anti AU car making sooo....cut em to shreds Prime Minister Abbot! |
