The 2013/14 departure statement by Australian car manufacturers presents danger to the survival of the state's automotive industry, and the pullout is expected to have a significant and undesirable impact on the Australian economy as a whole. The case highlights the dilemma that government decision makers often face: Should they provide protection to loss-making businesses in order to support domestic employment and economic output, or should they let struggling businesses die out to make room for more prosperous economic actions?
