Multinationals have nothing to do with it. If my business is going bad because I am not selling a product my customer wants will I get a government handout when I'm about to go bankrupt?
You need to think outside your parameters. First, they aren't going bankrupt. Second, their point is that less people are buying locally designed and manufactured Holdens than they have for many years, but the imported models are still selling well. New models have been introduced this year - one only in the past month. Hardly the actions of a bankrupt.
The government can call the shots regarding financial support but the ramifications, economically, commercially AND politically, need to be carefully weighed up. Funny how you choose to drive an FG yet don't appear to give a stuff about the future of Australian car manufacture.
