Correct, except for the spelling errors.
(and there's no prize, as previously stated.)

No one worried when Holden was sold to GM in 1931
The majority of Australians don't buy Holden or ford
This means now a Holden with come from OS like most of the cars in Australia

Would you expect anything different from the lawyers and self-serving union officials that form these governments?
It's said that we get the governments we deserve. We must have been very bad to deserve what we get here.

Yeah, I recall a statement that Europe was the superpower in the 19th century, USA in the 20th and China will be it for the 21st.
There was a great boom in China recently but the momentum is slowing down, similarly it's also happening in India, many Euro and US companies I deal with have set up factories in China and/or India.
e.g. a few companies offer us a Chinese/Indian price as well as a German price for say valves or pumps, the internals are still made in Germany however.
