GMH needs funding to stay in OZ

[Rufys]

More like $70 to $80 WITH penalties for weekends ,public holidays ,early starts .

and massive leave entitlements, *sigh* Which adds up to be worth about $100,000 a year as a total package. I did say TOTAL PACKAGE in my post.

I every person who is involved in car industry lost their jobs this would be the dole payments a week$16250000- so gov is just trying to stop that rather than throw $$$$$$$ around.

There's a MASSIVE difference between artificially propping up a flailing industry by throwing stupid amounts of tax payer's dollars at it, and government policy as it relates to and impacts business. So stop taking what I said out of context. An industry should NOT exist solely on the reliance of government support.

My question was:

You don't think it's one role of government to help with employment where possible.

as quoted in your post with your reply:

Absolutely not!

Which part did I take out of context??

Errrr... Pay people with no skills in **** kicker jobs LESS!

Easy to say - but a different thing entirely to implement. Right now you fall squarely into the category of "armchair expert" with lots of "somebody should" do this that or whatever as a broad brush stroke but nada when it comes to the broader implications or how to achieve the aim. For example how to deal with the hundreds of thousands that find themselves without a job if the auto industry was to shut down. Just saying "get a job doing whatever" is not a plan :bang:

You really don't live in the real world.

Tell us, what do you do for a living?

Actually, I do. "Rufys" does not. He only lives on the internet.

I'm a reasonably senior manager at one of Australia's top universities. Of course real life personality and circumstances have nothing to do with "Rufys". That was just the first thing that popped into my head when I created my JustCommodores persona. Hell if I took the internet seriously "Rufys" wouldn't say half the **** he says! lol But that wouldn't be nearly as entertaining.

Holdens been going pretty well without GM money. Government money has helped them plenty. In another paper somewhere GM wants the government to invest, i think GM wants everyone to pay so they don't.
