Raise some interesting points Ryan. Certainly is going to be some disruption. 

Close to home Ford (Geelong, Victoria) and Holden (Adelaide) are scaling back massively or closing altogether their car manufacturing. 

Personally I believe an unemployment benefit safety net, plus access to free training programs, counselling etc is the answer. Also interest free small business loans etc. The longer standing employees, will also get nice redundancy payouts - it's important they use that cash in a boringly good way - pay off mortgage etc. 

Don't see an UBI as the solution.

Just uncompetitive compared to overseas, but still anger from some quarters that Federal govt didn't step in to save the industry. Natural when you have been doing same job for 30 years, and are really not trained to do anything else. Wouldn't be great, and understandably some folks want to blame someone.
