Mr President, just very quickly: Mr Yasuda of Toyota did say:

When you go to the factory, even with my own eyes, I can see there are so many things we can improve.

That is what Toyota themselves said. In relation to Holden, Stefan Jacoby said:

... I initiated this decision because I am the leader of the markets and … the decision was driven purely by business rationale and not by any direction this government or any future government would give for their auto industry in Australia.

This completely rejects your false assertion. Why do you continue to peddle these false assertions in the light of what General Motors say and what Toyota say. It is absolutely clear, and yet you play your tawdry political games.
