The indigenous motor company that was painstakingly built, co-funded, and grown with policy by the adults who lived through the Great Depression (in 1969 Holden had their own ship and were exporting to SE Asia); then saw the protections stripped away as their children came into power; now gone and their grandchildren will have to go offshore if they want to value-add or have an automotive career with a major car co. We are back to where we started before Chifley launched that first Holden 48-215...

Edit: in truth, 2017 was that time, but now the brand is gone too.
