The automobile industry is the largest manufacturing sector in Australia and enjoys massive government subsidies, but it is a minnow in a highly competitive and subsidy-rich, world market.That would make the car business hard at any time, but today the local industry confronts high fuel and commodity prices, a relatively strong Australian dollar and, of course, wage competition from China. Total Australian vehicle manufacturing profits fell from $300 million in the black in 2003 to $100 million in the red in 2004.
Faced with this kind of pressure on their bottom line, local car manufacturers have increasingly been sourcing car components from overseas. As a result, the level of locally made components on locally produced cars has been steadily falling, at the same time as their capacity to export has been squeezed. Car manufacturing and the component industry that hangs off it directly employs 81,800 people and their activity means another 420,000 jobs depend on the industry staying afloat, according to research commissioned by the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union
