The decided to enter a trade war with China in the middle of covid.
>Make free trade agreement with the US>Ford undercuts the market by selling at a loss>Local manufacturers go broke>Ford buys them out, buys out their production facilities, and scraps them>Ford then jacks up their prices>Infrastructure to develop a local industry is now goneFree trade is a death knell for your local economy.
>>543069602BurgerJews.Constant U.S undermining of our industry and national resources they don't want us independent,classic Gough Whitlam shit, try to nationalise any asset and some yank sheckleburg billionaire will immediately be on the phone to the CIA to fondle our next elections asshole
>>543071579VW in Germany goes to shit because it can't compete with VW China, less efficiency less productivity less robotics and labour unions.Free trade is good if you're the exporter but it should rather be nationalized than allowing companies to set up factories in other nations undercutting factories at home.

>>543071579>>Ford undercuts the market by selling at a lossIn a sane world this would be illegal. Funny how it literally undermines the whole idea of capitalism.

>>543071807>Funny how it literally undermines the whole idea of capitalism.This is because you have a child's idealistic fairy-tail outlook on Capitalism and it's functions.

>>543069602uniparty and the aussie govt got captured by foreign interests ages ago and part of that was forcibly deindustrialising Australia we used to have 99+% employment just for up to age 15yo education, cheap housing, so much easy stuff

Too much government regulation and taxation alongside rampant unionism. It is far too expensive to manufacture in Australia so businesses either require government welfare, they go out of business or they move offshore. The public sector is the largest employer by far in this country and it is paid for through debt our great-grandchildren will still be paying off.
>>543069602>What went wrong with Australian manufacturing and auto industryDunno, but if you're anything like Canada you probably:-Made some kind of (free)trade agreement with a bigger country, with a larger population, perhaps several; that all have way more capacity to manufacture things infinitely cheaper. -Your private sector proceeded to "rationally" completely deindustrialize as they just ship everything offshore and overseas to focus on managment, tourism, money laundering, real estate, fake make believe jobs at home that don't have any inputs. -The gooberment then basically doubles down on this situation to the point where you've become completely deskilled and you've actually sold off so many assets foreign ownership becomes a serious cyclical issue as other countries actively prevent re-industrialization. Something close to that at any rate. Gets um' every time. Cunts can't help themselves; we're governed by fucking retards.
>>543071754Completely scammed,Went from >we can build them>ok we can build half... Maybe...>Ok we can't build...>We will loan you old subs>Ok we can't afford to loan any subs either...>Ok your not getting SHIT but we will rotate our own subs and crews through your territory, thanks for paying in advance though LOL no refunds Absolutely fucking jewed
>>543069602jews
>>543069602>unions demand triple pay for 20 hour week>wonder why auto industry disappears
>>543069602So, is it only me that thinks this small child is moments away from being disemboweled by the kangaroo???
>>543071579the Japanese and Koreans were outcompeted the Australian manufacturers. There was no importing cars from America in the late 2000s and 2010s when the local car manufacturing went bust. The actual reason manufacturing isn't competitive in Australia is Dutch disease and unions.
>>543074687Kangaroo's are harmless retard (unless you go to central Australia, stay the fuck away from them ones)
