OT New Holden Advert - the Final Insult

[webShark]

Any seen it? I'm still vomiting. Here to stay

 

[++ Gregos v.4]

No.

 

[Frenzy.]

Any seen it? I'm still vomiting. Here to stay

Haven't seen it but have heard the radio add where the line "business as usual" is used. I found that offensive. Won't be business as normal for all the charnts who lose jobs over it

 

[Card Shark]

Robbie Farah in his kangaroos jersey featured prominently "here".

Everything is "here", except the company.

Havent made a comment in a while, but couldnt resist. Watching that advert last night after a long day in the heat made me even hotter, absolute disgrace...especially this time of year.

 

[Madsharkie]

Pretty normal isn't it? We lose heaps of manufacturing to overseas. Sad state of affairs.

Btw, where is holden going? China?

 

[BatteredFlake]

Saw it . Disgusted- Owned and drove holdens loyaly for twenty years. Still have a Rodeo for work . Its the last Holden for me .

 

[byrner]

I can accept jobs going overseas, but don't rub it in the poor people's faces by putting that disgrace of an add out there.

 

[Surely]

Buy Australian you won't lose manufacturing jobs.

 

[ratsack2]

it was an absolute disgrace of an ad and an insult to all those who will lose their jobs

 

[Bastard Squad]

Never understood the attitude, force up costs with above average pay rises and conditions, and expect the tax payer to cover it. The unions have bitten off their own knob.

What car is Australian made now?

 

[KiamaSaint]

I concur, made a similar comment in Jubilee Avenue.

 

[Madrooster]

After every over last night in the big bash was the Holden add. And that's not an exaggeration. At one stage they started playing another add and after 1 second pulled it and played the Holden add.

Toyota haven't pulled out yet.

Too late for the others much like TVs and white goods.

As long as people can benefit from cheap overseas labour through cheaper prices our manufacturing industry is doomed.

Can't have your cake and eat it.

Quigs in 3.. 2.. 1..

 

[Bastard Squad]

Quigs will blame anyone except the unions who force costs up above a competitive rate.

The Tories, Margaret Thatcher, Andrew Bolt.

Just you wait.

 

[Bastard Squad]

Sorry, I forgot, It's Tony Abbot's fault that Holden are folden, but it wasn't Labor's fault that Ford & Mitsubishi packed up.

 

[Crikey!!!!]

It wont be long before they go also..
as the small bits that they purchase locally will increase in price because they will be the only ones using them and the manufacturer wont be able to hold pricing.

Crap situation everywhere:x

It blows my mind that average people would lay the blame at the feet of the workers and the unions. Are the workers supposed to work for free? Are management free from scrutiny? It was executive management that expected governmental bail outs and devised strategies accordingly, not the f**ken factory floor workers who were trying to feed their families.
