Fear car review will come too late:AMWU CAR workers are concerned that waiting for the results of a review into their industry next year - as the federal government wants to - will be too late to save jobs. AMWU national secretary Paul Bastian and a delegation of auto industry workers met with Industry Minister Ian MacFarlane in Canberra on Monday. Mr Bastian said the meeting was constructive, although both sides maintained their strong points of view over the future. "At least we have a dialogue with the minister," he told reporters in Canberra. He said if the federal election had gone the other way, funding to keep a car industry in Australia would have been signed up, instead "we have got a whole amount of uncertainty." The government has ordered a review into the industry by the Productivity Commission before committing any more funding, the results of which won't be known until next year. Holden GM wants an answer before Christmas when it will decide about its future in Australia. Mr Bastian said he was "very worried" that the review's findings would come too late. "In our view this issue won't be resolved by the Productivity Commission," Mr Bastian said. Neither did he agree with the government that repealing the carbon tax will support the industry, saying its impact has been negligible. I'll tell you where the real impact is, the high Australia dollar. That's a 30 per cent whack our exporters have to pay," he said. Mr Bastian and his delegation are due to meet Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, and are hoping to get a commitment from him to continue to support the industry.
