Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time GM Holden GM Holden The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD Legislative Council GM Holden The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (15:05): My question is to the Minister for Automotive Transformation. Is the minister aware of any plans by Holden to change the composition of its manufacturing, specifically to delete production of the Holden Cruze wagon model, prior to the earlier plans that Holden had announced? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation GM Holden The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:05): I thank the honourable member for his question. Certainly, Holden have said publicly, and have also said to the government, that they intend to keep producing automobiles at their Holden site up until the end of 2017. Certainly, on the composition of exactly what they produce and when they will stop producing certain models, there haven't been any guarantees given. They have said they intend to keep producing up until the end of 2017. We've seen two rerates this year in terms of daily production of vehicles. I couldn't say for sure, and I'm not sure Holden would be able to say for sure, not knowing what forward sales figures will be exactly, how many will be produced up until their intended date in 2017 and exactly what the models are.
