Yup I can foresee a chingadoor on the horizon

Just watched Ross Greenwoods take on the car industry in Australia, and he compared a Toyota Camry cost new in USA , Canada , and here.


Guess what....It cost $10,000 more to buy one here than over there.. WHY..


Its called TAX. been imposed for years... Yep we live in the lucky country




Cheers Ean

I heard on tv today that Australia day being on a Thursday obviously meant that Friday was a normal work day. Well guess what, Toyota had 40% absent on the Friday!.. where does all this stop?

Loyalty have to work both ways, perhaps the workers have learned by their mates in Holden that companies do not give a dam about them ?
Just wonder how much absenteeism was among management..............

Last time Australia Day was on a Thursday was in 2012. Perhaps you misheard the year?

Probably that was it.

One of the companies I worked for told us to take the Monday before cup day off. Staff took annual leave Casuals and contractors weren't paid. The company saved heaps on the power bill.
