Don't make the same mistake.

35yrs ago long before you had a car industry !!
I think Hockey and Abbott made the right decision as the car
industry in the west has become unviable as they cant compete
with the orient anymore?
Why do you think the EU was formed??

All they talk of is getting to uni !!

I dont want to infect you so l shall shut up now!

If it takes only 3 months to train british specialists, that would explain why the EU demands from the UK to prove equivalence in products

Nice of your family to empathise with an old man who has been gone to the tropics too long to understand contemporary britain.

The first Holden rolled off the production line in 1948, I realise maths is not your strong point but I think you will find that is more than 35 years ago.
The first Australian cars were made in about 1896 and there has been a continuous car industry in the country until 2017. Buses, trucks and rolling stock are still manufactured in Australia, no one else has road trains.

the sheep shaggers bought from america where it couldnt make it
due to its archaic design !!
But l suppose it was good enough for swagmen !
So you cant say that you had a truly australian car industry at all !!
When are all you hi IQ ozzies going to create something original
instead of digging coal out of the ground and exporting carbon all
around the planet? But maybe thats why they call you digger??
