Let's get real though. Manufacturing in Australia peaked at 25% of GDP in the 1960s. It's almost under 10% these days. It's got nothing to do with the carbon tax. If what you say is true and Geelong is going to be hit too hard, then it's their own fault. They've had years to open up their eyes and do something about it.Geelong is going to be hit hard.
They are two completely different things. But the student threw the sandwich at the PrimeMinister not at the Office of the Prime Minister so I don't think it is fair for you to assume that the student has no respect for the Prime Minister's Office.
Geelong is going to be hit hard.
I'm told they're finished.............
What a complete load of nonsense.
Also true - I was actually looking for these figures. I found the right site, just not the stats by the looks of it. ThanksThey also claimed the cost was between $112 and $150/car. Not $400, which was a PwC estimate.

Either way if $400 on a $30k product makes it uneconomic then it wasn't economic to begin with.

No it's not, when Nixon was impeached it was him who went not the office of the President, Gillard is respected by no one , it's not the office that's disrespected it's her.
High-tech innovation from the countries you bolded. As you imply, they make quality products in a diverse range of industries. Companies like Cochlear, ARB, Codan (maybe even CSL) etc are a good start. But we would need a heap more to be competitive on a world scale.If we want manufacturing we need to develop a base similar to Germany or the Scandinavian countries. We can't expect to compete on price and I think we've moved on from the hammer and anvil industries of the 70s. We're on the doorstep of Asia so the old line about being too far away is BS. Surprisingly enough, in many parts of Asia, Australia is seen as a source of quality products and services. It will lift us out of the mining induced productivity doldrum, although it will decade at least a decade, so I guess it will never get done.

Bintang was taking the mickey Macquack.
You are full of it Burns.
Disrespect is not impeachment.
Impeachment is the formal process in which an official is accused of unlawful activity
before an appropriate tribunal .
A tribunal does not include your toilet, Burns.
Mr Burns made a perfectly legitimate analogy. He did not equate impeachment with disrespect.

I think the "high cost" argument is lazy to be honest and indicative of why Australia's manufacturing industries are in the doldrums.
Well what was the analogy then???
Yes, I was but I was also making a serious point which Mr Burns has well understood and paraphrased with:
"...... when Nixon was impeached it was him who went not the office of the President, Gillard is respected by no one , it's not the office that's disrespected it's her."
As exemplified by the hopeless management of Australia's economy........what we don't have is good management Australian management in my own experience is a clear winner for being absolutely hopeless why I don't know its always being a puzzle.
Since when did not respecting someone = right to assault them?
Never
The comparison to Nixon is bizarre to say the least.
