Everyone wants a bail out these days. Most shouldn’t get one.

Bailing out Holden dealers would be like going to dump money in the pokies, a complete waste of dollars. Face it, Holden is dead, that’s capitalism.

JoeHockey quick tell them to leave

Has leftist learnt nothing?

What exactly did they expect? Holden no longer exists.

General motors should have remade the torana

JoshFrydenberg is there a reason why Holden dealers were abandoned by the Government? Are you not able to meditate a deal to protect them in Australia and allow for electric manufacturing? SenatorWong unionsaustralia AustralianLabor LiberalAus DanielAndrewsMP GladysB

The debt supernova is imploding kids. Buy seeds.

Why would the government get involved in a business private industry negotiation ?

It's bad for these Holden dealers, but they are businesses, some very big, and that's business. Sometimes you back the wrong horse in business. Why should the Government bail them out?

Katter

First they came for those that built the cars and the dealers said nothing , now they are the ones getting screwed they realise they are on their own with no friends.

What a wholly f*cking surprise!

If any business man expects the government to save their business, they are very naive.

Minimum wage up $13 a week despite coronavirus recessionBreaking: The minimum wage will rise this year by $13 a week despite calls from employer groups and the federal government to prioritise jobs and freeze the minimum wage Take a nationalist direction, create Australian business by taxing more on foreign owned companies and less taxes on Australian companies to drive up the minimum wages for those workers. It may give the opportunity for Australian owned copycat companies to rise... ...this will achieve the opposite intended outcome; imagine being a small business with this impost added to ones operating costs? TheEnd... That's half a pack of winnie blues.
