We recognise that for some of the workers at Holden and Toyota this is an uncertain time. My message to those workers is that you will continue to be supported after the closures. We will work with you so that you have the necessary skills to get into new jobs. Holden advises that 75 per cent of Holden workers have found new jobs or have retired and that another 10 per cent are entering full-time study. Every Holden worker has had access to transition services and up to $3,000 in approved training. Let's remember that the industry will retain over 2,000 engineers, designers and technicians maintaining Australia's world-class automotive design and engineering capability.
