In the 80's started my first full time job at 16..I do remember the cost of living, local shoes etc..were big money/this is the period of Boom /bust


Key Government initiatives impacting manufacturing during the period included the Hawke Government’s 1983 decision to float the Australian dollar and introduce financial deregulation, as well as the reduction of tariff barriers, and a restructuring of the industry, which included the Button car plan.

Trump would of even gone with higher Tariffs IMO . Ford and GM did say they were down ramping EV'S....
