ABOUT
When GM Holden signalled that it would close its
Adelaide factory in 2017,
it struck at the very heart of Australian identity. Holden is our
car, made on our shores. lt's the choice of patriotic rev heads and
_suburban drivers alike.
How could cars that Were so beloved - and so popular - be so
unprofitable to make?
The story of the collapse of Holden is about the people who make and
drive the cars; it's about sustaining industry in Australia; it's
about communities of workers and What happens when the Work dries
up.
lt's also the story of Toyota, Mitsubishi and Ford. Of Alcoa, the
Telford coal mine and the W1lliamstown shipyard. lt's about the
people of Elizabeth, Geelong, Dandenong and Broadmeadows. "
In this extraordinary account of Australian history as it unfalist
Royce Kurmelovs revisits the Adelaide of his childhood and the
Holden factory just down the road. He confronts the South Australia
of the future, when the factory jobs are all gone. And he takes a
good, hard look at what's in store for Australia when Holden shuts
its doors for the last time. .
