he is smarter than that though. he is just playing to the ignorance of the general public and the simplistic way most would view things. there are many factors as to why the price of cars in america is different to here. population size for one.

Interesting article relating to a row between Coke and Coles. I think someone might need to point this premise at Josh. And Kudo's to the Coles CEO for stating "Yes I can bring in cans from Indonesia cheaper than I could produce them in Australia.

I know its obviously not the Automotive sector, but I think anything Manufacturing at this stage should be in the spotlight. It is actually interesting, Coke could easily off-shore its manufacturing for Oz, but doesn;t?
