Just a thought...
Kevin Rudd (and Kim Carr (a Rudd backer)) was the man who developed the New Car Plan which has effectively kept car manufacturing alive. Rudd has repeatedly said he "doesn't want to be PM of a country that doesn't make things" and lambasted Gillard for dropping the Green Car Fund (which I reckon would have saved Ford had it still been around). So, assuming Kim Carr is rewarded (again) with the industry portfolio, does anyone think he could meet with Ford to try and get them to change track? It's not too late IMO, so long as something is done relatively quickly - i.e. before the election and before the end of the year when any prospect of developing a new model (lead times etc.) evaporates. |

Could Kevin Rudd/Kim Carr pursuade Ford to reverse shut down decision?
