Just a deflection for more funding.

Australia's small population makes it difficult to be profitable in any form of manufacturing when faced with a myriad of competition.

Recent revolving door personnel at the pointy end shows GM weren't serious about keeping up the charade otherwise they would have fixed that problem for stability sake.

All I'm saying is that the notion that Holden was planning to leave since the 1990s is rubbish, All the indications were that up until the announcement by Ford, Holden had every intention of staying put but what really put the skids under them was withdrawal of government funding. Once that funding was ended, their plans were shot.
