The 2014 budget wasn't a failure. It started australia back from the brink of financial ruin left before hand. Now in 2019 the debt has almost fully gone.

The economy is in a great place and employment is down. It is just that most of those jobs are not in manufacturing but warehousing these days.

Holden was only making about 20-30,000 cars a year by 2017 which is no where near enough to maintain a manufacturing plant. Ford was pretty much lucky to be making 10,000 falcons. The camry was also losing numbers even though it had an economical hybrid version.

Nothing of what you say would be the case because for some reason people stopped buying Australian cars. No government should keep pouring money in to a money pit. Some of those workers have now moved on to the aerospace industry making parts for the F-35, the new hobart class ships and the future hunter class ships. None of which is costing the Australian government money but actually making it money.
