Is he going to try to tell us GM made the decision overnight or will he actually own up to not knowing WTF is going on.
And GM blame the high $AU whereas Jay said the lower $AU was the cause.
People slam Marshall for not saying much.
Better to stay silent that confirm you have NFI like Jay - Absolute plonker

At least we get to decide what Weatherill is made of, Marshall is a nothing nobody who we all know was the only bloke willing to take the hot seat, knowing a knife in his back is imminent. Feel for the bloke, dead man walking. As all Liberal leaders have been....

Presser from Libs
Marshall talks SA’s economy in Canberra
State Liberal Leader Steven Marshall has today met with Prime Minister Tony Abbott in Canberra to talk about putting South Australia’s economy back on track.
Mr Marshall also met with Deputy Liberal Leader and Foreign Affairs Minister, Julie Bishop, Federal Defence Minister, David Johnston, and Federal Industry Minister, Ian Macfarlane.
Yesterday’s announcement that Holden will cease manufacturing at its Elizabeth Plant by the end of 2017 is a devastating blow for South Australia.
After 12 years of State Labor Government, South Australia has lost Mitsubishi and it has now lost Holden.
“What South Australians need now is an economic plan to put our State’s economy back on track,” said Mr Marshall.
“Instead, all Premier Weatherill wants to do is play the blame game – it’s time Mr Weatherill stops playing politics and starts talking solutions.
“I have already committed to introducing no new taxes and levies if elected to Government next year.
“I have also committed to cutting payroll tax, to ease cost pressures for South Australian businesses.
“On the other hand, Mr Weatherill already has plans to introduce a new tax – a toxic car park tax.
“The State Liberals understand businesses are doing it tough and that South Australia is in the midst of a dangerous jobs crisis.
“Today’s unemployment data revealed South Australia’s unemployment rate increased to 6.8 per cent in November – SA has now lost 27,000 jobs since the June Budget.
“We need to be doing everything we can to be encouraging businesses to grow and employ South Australians.
“South Australians deserve a Government with better priorities to get our State back on track.”

Beware of political types bearing polls
A few curious facts about the “internal Labor” poll of the seat of Norwood – henceforth to be known as “Dunstan”.
A newspaper report – which said the polling showed Liberal leader Steven Marshall on a knife-edge against Labor opponent Jo Chapley – caused a minor nuclear explosion in Liberal offices on North Terrace, but not for the reasons you might imagine.
Here’s the thing: journalists are rarely given the complete data behind such polls, or get to read the questions posed to the electorate. As such, we should always take such data with a grain of salt (or, in some cases, a Dead Sea amount of sodium).
In this case, the poll wasn’t strictly an internal Labor poll. It was put together by an ALP-affiliated polling firm at the request of the unions.
Exactly 617 people were polled and they were asked which party would receive their vote – majors and minors – and it allegedly showed a two-party-preferred swing to Labor of 4 per cent. The Outsider is unsure whether candidates’ names were mentioned – a fact which would have significance, given Marshall’s profile.
Party polling is also happening across the state – and the news isn’t so good for Labor elsewhere (although it’s said to be “not horrific”).
The bottom line: yes, it was a big poll, but, as one sage observer noted, if Labor really thought they were going to win the seat, why would they trumpet it from the rooftops?
More likely, they want to spook the Liberals into spending more dough than they should in the seat, thus robbing resources from more needy marginal seats.

Not really. After all, Holden did say that if they had received the funding the Labor Government were promising and the Free Trade Agreement had not gone ahead, they would have stayed in South Australia. Please explain therefore how Jay was false?
