Mitsubishi to close Adelaide

lame i thought they were closing the entire city

hahahaha yeh well some people would say that place has been closed for years mat

They are only getting rid of one car tho. Which isnt sooo bad. Seems a bit silly to have a plant just providing one vehicle.
The rest of the cars will still be imported. So it wont make a huge difference to mitsubishi at all.

I didnt mean it to sound like that. I understand it will be hard for them. I wasnt trying to be rude. Sorry, i was really more surprised they even had a factory in Australia. But the employee's will be getting compensated a lot of money. They have that atleast to look forward too plus a month to look for another job.
I knew some people who were working at WA Salvage when that went under. And the money they got paid was crazy plus they were offered jobs as well at Bunnings.

Send them over to WA. Everyone knows how short staffed businesses are over here.

I would hire 50 people tomorrow (and get rid of some subcontractors) if I could find the right people.

Also things like waiting 6 months to get a truck body built is crap. Anyone that can weld can earn great dollars here.

Also they could go and work for toyota overseas. Current waiting for a diesel gxl prado is out to nearly nine months. 4x4 Diesel dual cab hilux SR5 is about 7 months.

why of all places in aus did they choose to have their plant in adelaide?
