Just months after axing Holden, GM announced it will launch the new vehicle brand GMVS in AU and NZ. GM Holden’s decision to launch a new brand was “unthinkable” said @AADA_CEO and called on government authorities to heighten their scrutiny of GM Holden. https://t.co/04OMX2TRzS
“It is disappointing that the LCT applies to accessories and added features which discourage consumer uptake of safety technology due to concerns it will push their new vehicle over the threshold,” @AADA_CEO James Voortman said." @jaredm_lynch@australian https://t.co/UEk69WBBzP
“The new car market has been in recession for almost two years and Dealers will be hopeful that these measures breathe some life into an industry that is on the ropes,” @AADA_CEO said. https://t.co/t31Z8BsSd8

Yesterday, @AADA_ASN reps & Holden Dealers met with
@ScottMorrisonMP urging him to give Holden Dealers political backing. “One issue is stronger franchising laws so an offshore company like GM cannot act like this again," @AADA_CEO told @australian https://t.co/xKel04zzEm
Great to see Julian Simmonds MP, Member for Ryan, talking to the Federation Chamber about the need of better protections for franchised new car Dealers: https://t.co/lLXbQlIBvw

.@karenandrewsmp and I met with @AADA_ASN and Holden dealers today. General Motors has said they will provide compensation to dealers. The Government will be supporting these dealers by watching very closely to see that they get a fair deal.
Great initiative from the SA Government providing bushfire victims with stamp duty exemptions on replacement vehicles. https://t.co/f6I1RnQhVe @Rob_Lucas#bushfires#auspol
It was great to attend the @AusChamber’s #ACCIdinner last night and hear the Treasurer @JoshFrydenberg make encouraging comments on government support for small and medium businesses.
Did you know your local car Dealer offers more than just selling cars? The different departments of a #dealership also provide services that support you throughout the journey of car ownership, including financing, servicing and keeping your car safe - https://t.co/WLMEp9aoUb 🚗
8 Million Australian vehicles have been checked for deadly Takata airbags though the website https://t.co/bJ4IIjPGER. Make sure you check your vehicle and if it is identified with a faulty Takata airbag, call or visit a new car Dealer ASAP to arrange a replacement #safety
One of the key impediments to families buying newer, safer & cleaner vehicles is the Luxury Car Tax along with the remaining tariffs on some imported vehicles. https://t.co/XVM5ZjY7Mf @AAAcomms@couriermail@viellarisr
I look forward to working closely with @karenandrewsmp, @SenatorCash, the Department of Industry, Innovation, and Science and other industry participants to make sure that the reforms are implemented. #AutomotiveCode
The @AADA_CEO welcomed the Morrison Government’s commitment to make Australia’s new car retailing industry fairer for Dealers and consumers. These reforms will address end-of-term & capital expenditure arrangements - https://t.co/sl4liObeSs @karenandrewsmp@SenatorCash
The LCT is more likely to effect LandCruisers than Lamborghinis & should be abolished all together, with a staged plan & reform of state-based rules. It captures some of our safest vehicles & restricts the uptake of fuel-efficient cars- https://t.co/BUCqHBPUvA @FinancialReview
Figures released by @ABSStats show that AUS has a clear favourite when it comes to passenger vehicles: Toyota takes the lead with almost 3m registered cars. Holden is 2nd but with 6% less than last year. Download our infographic for more stats: https://t.co/FjRk7kUUOe
Amongst the resilient North Queensland communities rebuilding from the floods is Townsville which is on the road to recovery. They know the importance of keeping together and it’s no different for our veterans here who will benefit from The Oasis.
Legislators agree that new laws regulating the importation and supply of road vehicles be delayed for up to two years. The @AADA_ASN supports the delay for the simple fact that the laws are not yet ready. Read more in @AutoTalkAU magazine, page 11. #RVSA#auspol
