The question is will someone from Ford make a commitment to Australian manufacturing post 2016? The answer as its presently stands, is no because they consistently DO NOT make such a commitment. Nothing said yesterday has contradicted or changed that.
If that is being negative, then I think you have completely misunderstood the question and the concern for Australian manufacturing of Ford motor vehicles some hold, including no doubt many who are employed by Ford or their suppliers.
Despite your enthusiasm for the brand, the person to answer this question is the President of Ford Australia and right now he isn't showing the slightest interest in clarifying post 2016 plans for Ford Australia, despite extensive interest in the media and indeed on these forums.
Some might think that tells a story by its absence. Lets hope it doesn't.
