As long as the money stays within this country's car industry. I'm all for it.
Some help for our ailing suppliers will be welcomed, But some might say it's long overdue.
IB... Are you saying Rudds idea's are for future impact rather then the now which will be seen and grab votes ?.
I would have liked to see a 500 million investment into all 3 car makers to build hybrids alternative fuel cars. That way they all get the same slice to do the same thing. To ask them to be the first hands Toyota money they don't need to work hard for. Now for holden/ford to invest in hybrids their development cost and testing would be higher and much longer. Toyota doesn't need to do much as their hybrid cars are built overseas already.
It's like giving 3 people the chance to be the first to loose 10kg.. 1: is 200kg and the other 2 are 20kg anorexics. I don't mind Toyota getting a slice of money as they have been wonderful to Australia over the years. Just ford/holden need it more.
