Fantastic news, more jobs, more products, more production.

Uwe the globally developed and funded Cruze to chase production and volume and move the Commodore more upmarket.

So much for 500 new jobs, if all they are doing is returning the workers who were doing one week on, one week off back to full time work. That doesn't create any new full time jobs, bar the handful new they might hire.

Typical Holden BS smoke and mirrors.

Exactly!

The most they'll 'take on' is 150 workers, the rest are either returning from leave or those that kept their second jobs when everyone else went back full time 6mths ago.

They served this line up months ago and have recycled it to overshadow Falcons 50th.

I heard on the news it will create 30 new jobs.

They were only 470 off, close enough I guess, pffftt.
