And this was creating a bottle neck in the economy. As I know its not popular with a lot of people but I would be very happy to see an excise on all imported cars at this time, the funds from this would go to our own Car industry to support it and it would make Australian cars look cheaper, but that wont happen as a lot of people will not like their cheapy cars going up in price, and the Govt of the day will be accused of another tax hike. |

I guess its ok for hockey to say that when he isnt in gove ,however if and when he gets to be in gove he will find it will be hard to not support the local car companies ,think about 50,000 or more people put on the dole ,that wouldnt go down very well i dont think.Maybe malcom turnbul would make a good treasurer , even if i cant stand the bloke

You've either made a huge mistake with the employment levels these monies support, or you have made a great case that these workers are the least productive workers the world has ever bred. |
