Why bail out some workers but not others? Whilst I’m sure the workers might be doing it tough, why do they deserve special treatment?

Why bail out some workers but not others?

That doesn't mean that we as taxpayers should prop up their business when it isn't profitable (and in fact many companies I would say have gone by the wayside without such a handout). Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and give a Holden employee a bunch of flowers as a thank you for my ability to rise a horse in this great land of ours.

I drive a UK mini, Holden had nothing to do with my car. I also fail to see how you credit Holden with horse riding and washing machines. Blind Patriotism is what has been keeping this dinosaur company alive, your attitude is a perfect example of it. Hi Dave, I do drive.

Its all very well to go on a rant about (anyone actually)if you dont hold your own credentials up to the light introspectively. Do you drive a car? Travel on transport powered by an internal combustion engine? Ride a horse? Own a fridge or a washing machine? Chances are, if you do and you live in Australia or New Zealand, Holden has contributed something to your ability to do so. Why dont you have a go at the real polluter - yourself.
