   Yes Cyrius, that does sound like a strange expenditure of money. Is that $6 billion being spent within Australia, to create Australian jobs?And was that money actually a donation? It sounds hard to believe. If true, then a citizen’s group in Australia should file a lawsuit to prevent it or reverse it.Rock on !

   The hardest thing about driving a hybrid is explaining to your parents that you’re gay…

   Kevin Rudd’s $6 Billion Donation to Toyota, boy is he a dumb ass. Prius sales have dropped through the floor worldwide.

   Good point – though for sure if we spent $6B on electric vehicle industry development, and looked for transport solutions that were cheap, sustainable AND good for our local manufacturing industry, we might even find solutions – just not a Toyota-style heavy industry. More likely an industry of solar recharging units, local buggy-style cars, made of alternative materials, or whatever. 6 Billion would certainly have helped it along instead of handing cash Toyota.

   Still, the car industry will eventually disappear in Australia because we cannot compete with cheap overseas labour, simple as that. These funds will just support it for a few years more. Then what? mining and tourism will be all we have. After 10 years of Howard the decline is looking fatal for most manufacturing industry in Australia, sad isn’t it?
