We once had thriving car manufacturing businesses in Australia; FORD, CHRYSLER & GM & many more smaller ones.
The unions killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
Here are some pics of the FORD Plant etc.
I detest Unions & Governments

I Like To Pick Out The Parts on The Aussie Cars Which Resemble U.S. Spec Cars. On This One I See The E-Body Challenger Exterior Door Handles, Steering Column,Tuff Wheel Steering Wheel, Seats and Brake Pedal Pad. All Similar Circa 1970! Floor Console Looks Like My 73 340 Duster I Once Owned. Overall Car Shape is Similar to 68 Cuda.

Nothing personal against the unions, as they're in existence to protect workers rights... It's the Governments which are ruining the auto industry with their clean air/EV B.S agenda.... The decisions should be left to the automakers and private sector, not the governments!

Just speaking for Australia here with the Unions & the demise of our car manufacturing industries.

Thanks for clarifying and yes, I agree 100% regarding the demise of your car manufacturing industry due to your Unions as being the reason... As I mentioned before, the purpose for the Unions were established to protect our autoworkers rights... However, I should have clarified by saying the purpose of Unions should be there for protecting the rights of all autoworkers in both North America and Australia (Globally)
