Holden to be pulled from sale by 2021The iconic Australian car brand Holden is being axed after decades making and selling cars such as the Commodore, Astra and Barina. Thanks Joe Hockey and the Liberals. You’ve lost an industry for no gain but less tax the last vestiges of the local car and related components industry, and technical skills associated with it, which was so completely screwed over by Tony Abbott. But (soon to be automated anyway) mining jobs? Australians to Holden - 😒🖕🏻

Never ever put a former East German in a leadership position. West Germany, was the best Germany.
