How much better was the VF over the VE? It would have had to be a quantum leap to make me want one. I had a VE for 4 years for work and it was the worst Commodore I’ve ever had. I’ve owned VB, VH, VK, VN, VR, VT and VE commodores and the VE was the most uncomfortable and the engine and gearbox could never figure out what the other was doing and at times was damn near dangerous when you went to drive off from a stop and nothing happened for a second every so often. Also had the most road noise - all over, a big step backwards from the VT IMO. Add to that a tilt tray trip a year for electrical issues, and when it left with just on 200,000KM on it, it was basically scrap metal. All my others did well over 200KKM and all were in far better condition. The VB, VN and VT were the best ones I had.

Sometimes supporting an inefficient industry is good strategically in case there are world events that preclude importation for some years. It's not likely at present but things can change suddenly and unexpectedly. For the same reason we should be able to extract and process our own oil to diesel and petrol. It doesn't have to be 100%, just enough that we can manage for a while until it gets ramped up, if the need arises. Not all industries have a strategic value, but some do.

So we don't support car manufacturers, farmers, disabled people etc (this includes all the other companies you care to name) in a responsible way and let them all lose their jobs. This results in the farming income and tax paid on wages being lost. Maybe you could explain how losing farm income, PAYE tax and paying these people the dole out of our tax instead saves us money? How is that better spent?

Farming takes up what % of our country?
I feel it’s a rather large sector that the government should support
Maybe not directly to the farmers but more towards the communities around our farmers
A bit more incentive to encourage small industries away from the big cities and keep the country towns alive
