⌛️🧮 Bruce Carnwell (🐣 & 🌴)<a href="https://aus.social/@feather1952" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@feather1952</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/@kentparkstreet1" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@kentparkstreet1</a> I also think that hockey is being too Cavalier about the prospect of civil unrest from the Magg(ots)a loons, because Trump has worked them up into such a psychopathic belief structure. 🔥 But I disagree with Kent on his view of <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/JoeHockey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JoeHockey</a> who is quite a different character to when he was Treasurer. He was also instrumental in negotiating with the former Trump regime, which we are going to need if the worst outcome occurs! 😮 🥂

⌛️🧮 Bruce Carnwell (🐣 & 🌴)<a href="https://aus.social/@InsurgoFormica" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@InsurgoFormica</a> amazingly, since I was no great fan of <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/JoeHockey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JoeHockey</a> while he was in government and Treasurer for the liberals, the question and answer session with David Crowe was excellent and very informative, and the questions from the other journalists were equally good. Also amazingly, his positions now are closer to mine. (obviously not on all things and he’s definitely wrong about changes to negative gearing pushing up rents). But he clearly endorses the product tax credits on critical minerals and also the <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Future</a> made in Australia legislation. And his knowledge of the USA administration, both under Trump and hopefully under Harris, was quite fascinating.

Alpha1Nine :funkwhale: :sofia:Elizabeth powered car <a href="https://aus.social/tags/manufacturing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#manufacturing</a> for five decades. Now it is eyeing a future made in Australia.For more than 50 years, they made things at Elizabeth in Adelaide's outer northern suburbs.The township was a hub for manufacturing <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Holden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Holden</a> cars and Peter Richardson spent 17 years working on the factory floor. Back in 2005, Mr Richardson had just bought a new family home for his wife and kids when word spread that lay-offs were looming.About 1,400 people were expected to be made redundant as the plant looked to cut shifts for workers. Mr Richardson was left feeling stunned."You didn't know where to put your head or your thoughts at that time," Mr Richardson told the ABC."It was like well, strewth if Holden's closes their door, Elizabeth becomes a ghost town," he said.Since Mr Richardson found out about redundancies at his plant in the mid-00s, the manufacturing sector in Australia has continued to decline.The federal government has signalled the need for more products made in Australia. The Future Made in Australia policy was a centrepiece of the last federal budget. Its focus is to increase the nation's manufacturing specifically in clean energy technologies."We saw manufacturing leave this country in the 70s and 80s. We want to bring it back," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.The National Motor Museum estimates Holden employed about 24,000 people across Australia in its heyday.Opened in 1960, the Elizabeth plant was the last of its factories to close, which ended "an important era of Australian automotive production" in late 2017.It's a familiar story that Mr Richardson has seen more than once since he first moved to Australia from the United Kingdom as a young man."I have worked for three to four types of industries and they've all gone," he said.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auspol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/JoeHockey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JoeHockey</a> <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-11/manufacturing-future-made-in-australia/104141360" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-11/manufacturing-future-made-in-australia/104141360</a>
