Government can save Holden: Kim Carr THE government has confidential information showing Holden could stay in Australia until 2025 with an assistance package of less than $150 million extra a year, Labor's Kim Carr says. The former industry minister has told Fairfax Media that documents, which were drafted by senior officials in the Department of Industry and Innovation, were handed to the Rudd cabinet in July. They detail that Holden, Toyota and more than 160 car parts makers could stay in Australia for $300 million extra a year. Senator Carr says he's not willing to breach confidence by revealing dollar amounts agreed by the previous government for the Holden deal. However, he's told Fairfax it's "less than half" the $300 million extra a year needed to keep the entire industry in Australia until 2025. Prime Minister Tony Abbott says Holden has already got enough government help and the company has decided to move on. A Liberal source told Fairfax that to secure the industry until 2025, the government would need to restore $500 million assistance already cut, and front up $300 million a year from 2016.
