Aus car makers getting squeezed

in the age.
i love this quote at the end:

Australian Manufacturing Workers Union state secretary John Camillo said with imported cars now accounting for about 70 per cent of all sales, all four car manufacturers in Australia were doing it tough.

"Australian buyers really have to think about buying local," he said.

Yeah right, they should over pay for a commodity to protect stupid people like you who can't make a car as cheaply as your competitors. Here's a hint: when you start whingeing about how stupid your customers are, it's time to move on.
