The news today is saying they will drop 600 jobs at Ford in Geelong in the casting plant, as they can get the engines cheaper o/s. That might be true but what about the carnage… not just the jobs, the investment.

The Victorian Government has put in over 60million dollars investing in the car maker to keep it here, keep it viable and so forth, but now has that money gone down the drain? Probably.. Will the Detroit big guns be swayed by a delegation from down under… nah probably too late… Will we as tax payers see the millions back in our coffers… “Sorry boys we spent it already.

Someone has made some cash out of the whole thing.

One thing is for sure even ten mil could have provided for those 600 by providing jobs in other areas in the region. A think tank on how to use 10 mill to make a highly sustainable range of businesses so that jobs and enterprise could be secured would have been useful.

But instead the people in power have had their arms twisted to give away a lot more and get little back. Lets see if anything good comes of the situation as the Detroit big guns throw their hands in the air and say “Hey there’s nothing we can do!”

Welcome to the clever country peoples!

Stumble it!
